I am going back to a crappo phone and won't need IM+ anymore. I figured someone here might want it at a reduced price.
I have cleared this with mods and e-mailed the kind people at SHAPE Services, and got this response regarding transfer of license.
Hello, David!
Thank you for choosing our software!
We can not help you to re-sell your license code but we can offer you to change the license code for IM+ for your new
device. Just debote the model type and we will send you a new license.
Please infrom us about your decision.
We are waiting for your reply!
With best regards,
Valeriya Molotkova

I bought it from them for $39.95 so I figure I would offer it up at $25.
As a kind gesture, I'd be happy to e-mail them with your model type to get the new registration code, and give it to you before you send PayPal (I'm pretty skiddish about online payment for electronic services myself).
Just seeing if there is any interest...?
And mods, I did get the OK to put it here in General, but if it is better in Off-Topic, feel free to move the thread.
IM+ License Key
Hey,
Do you still have the license key available? I am very interested in Purchasing it from you. I am currently using an XDA Exec with WM6 and using the tmobile tzones 5.99 data plan to connect.
Thanks,
Mike

Just found this site. It's great and thanks. Especiall since I recently needed to unlock a Siemens SX56.
However, before I found the site, I found a schmoe on eBay (Tommy [[email protected]]) who was selling unlock software for $8 US. I bought it. Then I found this site, and realized what he was selling was the XDA Developers Special Edition ROM.
Isn't this totally wrong? Shall I report him to eBay?
Thanks.

So he copied the CDA-developers free software and sold it to you for a price? Some would say he was smart.
That's a matter for the developers of ths software and their license agreement (if they have one).
As with most things in the public domain, he can claim he is charging for the service of distributing the software rather than the software content, he is within his rights to do so.
This whole site is 'grey' at best (depending on where it is hosted of course) , so let's keep the authorities out of of it - OK???
:wink:
Authorities :?: :?: :?:
I've been using the IM+ trial for a few days. I liked it so i decided to buy it tonight. I went to the shapeservices page. Then to the im+ link. Then to purchase and buy. I chose the option to pay via paypal. all it said after payment was "thank you for buying our product." it didn't give me a registration code, or a download or anything. It didn't even ask me for my email address. What the hell is going on? i sent them an email but they haven't responded yet. Has anyoen purchased v 4.22 and have any tips for anythign i might have missed. thank you.

It maybe that the Trail does not expire and you already had the 'full' version.
thanks for the idea. unfortunately thats not it. Its not "beggerware." it only lets me do 12 messages per sign in. and then it tells me i cant send anymore because its a trial version
I would assume if you paid by PayPal they already have your email, and to prevent fraud, will validate PayPal transactions *before* giving you a code or full version.
Also, not everyone uses a 24/7 e-payment system that sends codes instantly, there are many small companies and independant developers that process these manually themselves each day, so there could just be a delay.
Try emailing them quoting the email address your PayPal account is registered too.
Well, I thought its a joke: Download protectino at handango is $6.99 FOR EVERY SINLGE PIECE OF PURCHASED SOFTWARE? At the beginnig I thought its $6.99 for ALL purchased software.
Anyone wants to start a Handango.com boykott? I would gladly join since I bought 70 applications with Handango and would have to pay hundreds of dollars to be able to download them again.
Any other good vendors? Pocketgear?
Handango is rubbish. Use pocketgear. They let you download your purchased applications whever you want, again.
I stopped using Handango about 2 years ago...they're just awful.
Unfortunately, once in a great while you find SW that is only available from them (not even the developer!) in which case you take the risk.
9/10 though I go
1) developer's website (Paypal rocks)
2) pocketgear (or smartphone.net)
I can't believe anyone would use Handango these days. The site itself it just an awful mess and a b*tch to navigate.

By far I think pocket gear is the best. I too thought the so called 'protecton plan' was for all software I purchase.How could they think of this!

I recently received notification of an update for software I purchased through Handango. There were problems with getting my free upgrade. However I have to say they were very quick in responding to my contact and were very helpful and polite. They also followed up to make sure everything was ok and gave me a 10% discount on future purchase.
I did take the opportunity in feedback to comment on the download protection fee as an issue that seems unfair and that they may be losing business to the likes of pocketgear.
I think sometimes we complain to the wrong people and we may forget that actually a company may genuinely wish to serve their customers and may listen to well meant criticism. Certainly Handango unlike many organisations were very responsive to my on-line contact. Many companies don't even bother to reply to on-line requests for help or complaints.
That's not to say that out of the 200,000 members here that there will be no horror stories though.

You surely have a point there. In any case the protection plan is optional.
The wiki list of prices showed this shop to be the cheapest one! http://www.tigaduacellular.com
I tried to order from them, please see what happened! DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM! PLEASE!
Here we go, the e-mail conversation with their sales department:

Me to the shop
Hello,
Thanks for your extremely fast reply! I would like to purchase the EU version of the phone. So please continue with the Touch Pro EU version order.
Sincerely Yours,
XXX
---------------------------------
Me to the shop again
Hi,
I'm wondering if you have noted my message that i would like to continue with the purchase of the Touch Pro EU version as noted below. Now I find myself missing the payment information, which I am waiting from you to send me. The first contact from you was extremely fasy, which I'm thankful for, but approximately how long it can take to tell me how to pay?
The thing that you don't have option to pay via Credit card is already quite annoying, but even more annoying is to wait for the bank transfer payment information. Nothing personal, I'm just used to that shops would be more eager to get the money from the customers.
Sincerely yours,
XXX
---------------------------------
to me
Actually, we have send the payment information to you, the day you reply the
email.
We don't know if you already received it or not.
---------------------------------
Me to the shop
Hello,
Alright, I see! So the payment information is not sent via e-mail but by post. I am honestly sorry for my misunderstanding. I was assuming to get it to my e-mail. Thanks for the info. I'll be looking forward getting that information. Again sorry for my bad behaviour. all the best!
Regards,
XXX
---------------------------------
to me
Of course we have sent the information via e-mail.
Well I guess you're not serious buyer anyway.
Hope you will get your "FREE PHONE" with other website.
---------------------------------
Me to the shop
Hi,
I would really like to buy the phone, but have not received any confirmation? I double checked my spam folder also, nothing in there! I am really serious, as soon as you can provide me with the payment information i would like to purchase the phone.
Because i tried to be the nicest possible to you, i will take all the e-mails, collect a nice package of them and get in contact with your superior. This is not customer service.
You will hear from me, Mr. XXX. Too bad that you werent able to do your job. I will make sure no one will ever buy from your shop again if this harm done by you is not corrected.
Think twice before you fool around like that, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I WASNT A SERIOUS BUYER?
Sincerely,
XXX
---------------------------------
Me to the shop
PS. this information, and all the emails we have been sending to each other will soon be found from all the biggest mobile phone forums, where your customers are also coming.
---------------------------------
to me
Oh yes.
And you're just a customers who don't pay but want mobile phones.
Or maybe you're just another Nigerian buyer.
---------------------------------
Me to the shop
Excuse me!
I was ASKING YOU to send me the PAYMENT INFORMATION! BECAUSE YOU FAILED TO DO SO IN THE FIRST PLACE!
All this will be reported to your superior. Thanks.
Regards,
XXX

I'm glad i never got those payment instructions. who knows where my money could be right now!
And also remember, when ordering from them, you will probably have to pay the toll and VAT at your home country, so it really isn't even that cheap.
OMG
What a clueless webshop contact.
I think you should inform the owner of the shop so you can get this guy fired!
thanks for sharing
Amazing.......
You should copy the web-link from here and send them an email with the details of this post..... not good at all? and "who" pays "bank to bank" only these days - very strange indeed?

I thought to do so, but after doing whois pings on the domain, found out that the website is registered to a person with a same surname than the person answering my e-mail. Family biz.. They can go to hell with their stupid shop, just ordered from expansys.
Sounds very dodgie.... Thanks for sharing....
I bought from highstreet "Kamla" in London on Tottenham Court Road... UK version for £499.
A bit more expensive but from my past experience with HTC P3600 which was quite unstable initially, I thought it's better to buy from a shop where I can go back to if anything goes wrong.
I tell you...that is nuts. I had an issue with the first Touch Pro I ordered. Thank goodness I did it on E-Bay. Paypal refunded my money after my dispute, found another seller, and bought two of them with next day air delivery. Though I had one seller try to mess around with me, money was safe, and still had my Touch Pro within a week of the UK's launch.
Good luck with your next seller.
if it wasn't blindingly obvious to you already:
DON'T PAY BY BANK TRANSFER OR WESTERN UNION.
A merchant who doesn't take cards is generally always a scammer; bank transfers/WU are irreversible, this is precisely why they're required by scammers.
If you want to buy a device, buy it on a card; the price is cheaper than average for a good reason, use your noodle.
What if I send the money to someone for a phone on the marketplace via paypal and he/she scams me?
Can I do a disupute on paypal and get my money back?
How can you/me trust anyone on marketplace?
Revised Marketplace RULES / DISCLAIMER pretty much says how to take part in a deal with using your common sense and how to protect yourself as much as possible, using paypal you have protection just make sure you don't do the purchase as a gift.
