Hi
I am a T mobile USA costumer, I am using the latest NBD 8.3 Rom. I saw a program called SMS service and under it i saw send SMS using GPRS. If i enable it can i send free SMS using Tzones. Since I dont have Tzones can anybody in this Forum who has Tzones try this and give me a reply.
Actually, if you're able to access the internet through GPRS, anyone can send free sms's, it doesn't matter if you're on t-zones or not. All you have to do is put this link - http://sites.mobile.yahoo.com/sms/sendsms in ie and you can send and recieve all the free sms's you want over GPRS.
US only?
This only seems to work for US numbers ?
u can only send but u cannot receive on yahoo SMS, did any body try the option i said before?
I don't have NBD 8.3 since I cook my own ROMs and I can't seem to find a copy of it to try out or I'd try it for you.
You can recieve SMS's on it, you just need to refresh the screen since it's made for PC use and your PPC screen doesn't refresh itself.
To get it to work in different countries, you probably just need to go to your countries yahoo page and find it's link to it's free sms service. -- I just check for links from other countries and couldn't find any for yahoo free sms so this might only be a US thing.

Does anyone have a .cab for the smartphone version of OZ Messenger?
anyone>/?

here u go ~ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2002338&postcount=16
That's the T-Mobile OZ Messenger Cab file. It is the versio nthat uses SMS not data to send IM. Only have AIM, ICQ and Yahoo~no MSN.
Problem with OZ Messenger
Here is my case. I uses an unlocked T-Mobile Dash aka HTC S620. I formated and installed the HTC Rom + upgraded to WM6. I am using AT&T Sim for it. I found the OZ Messenger for T-Mobile @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2002338&postcount=16
It is the one I wanted because it uses SMS and I don't have a data plan. The problem is I am getting this error as Text Messages: 4670 Error Invaild Number. Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number. Does anyone have a clue to what that is? Is there a setting I have to set. So, I can use the T-Mobile OZ Messenger (SMS based) on my AT&T sim. If anyone know any other SMS based AIM+MSN messenger for WM6, please reply/PM me back.
Thanks.
My guess is that it does not work with att. I am not sure, but iirc this needs something on the carrier's end to make it work.
I was looking for an OZmessenger for my t-mobile dash for T-mobile NOT att. The one floating around the xda forums doesn't seem to work for me, I get the same message as you.
I ran into a oz messenger from ATT though, try this out...

I have unlimited SMS with T-Mobile. If I use the OZ, and I'm IMing with a friend who's outside the US, will it send an international SMS, or is it a domestic SMS to the servers (and thus free)?
Can anyone tell me how to use this cab file for my blackberry curve? Thanks in advance...

RE: your curve
Hi, you cannot install a .cab file on a blackberry curve. Blackberries do not use cab files. Thanks.
I think I had found in this forum a thread on howto use the built in msn client of a us phone with a foreign simcard (doesnt work normally because tmobile sends this messages via sms and charges you I think).
I searched now for 30 minutes and I cant find the thread anymore, or the page where the modification was described (it works, I have done it one my phone, then it sends messages via data). Any help from you ? Perhaps someone knows the website ?
Thanks
Hate to break this to you, but the built in MSN client uses WIFI.... or the built in data plan.... there shouldn't be anything regarding SMS I think? I could be totally wrong though....
But I have it working without the SMS function....
Aism
meeker, you are right, the msn client does not use messaging.

It seems that when using a non-T-Mobile SIM card, the built-in MSN client wouldn't work, giving a strange message saying it cannot read the phone number from the SIM card, and refuse to sign in to the server.
I'd love to know if anyone has a solution to this as I sometimes need to use IM over EDGE/GPRS when I am on the road.

Update: I think I found the link with information about a solution.

@Keyser.Soze
Many many thanks for the link, that was exactly what I tried to find. Again: Thank you !
Happy new year !
I have tried to follow the instructions featured in this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-452364.html
However, when I tried to use the command "cat /sdcard/IM.odex > /system/app/IM.odex"
The system will give me an error message: "write : no space left on device"]
I am using the modded RC30 firmware version 1.2 and would appreciate it if anyone can give me some advice on this. Thanks in advance!
KS
Strange, worked here.
did you remove the usb cord as told in the manual ? Dont know if that can be the reason....
I have a tmobile sim card but without the specific g1 data plan..and I have the same issue. Also I don't have a g1 with root permissions but only factory R30 firmware.
So no solutions for me?lol
Thanks Christian
hi
are you guys sure that t-mobile dont use messaging when sending messages in msn messenger?
because i had the unlimited data plan and 400 txt messages before and everytime i use msn messenger i checked online for the txt messages used and i had the exact amount left that i used on msn messenger
but only in msn messenger, yahoo and aol, not on the gtalk app.
so i had to switch to unlimited txt messages .

if you have a g1 plan then it should not be using text messaging, the text messaging MSN messenger program itself hasnt been installed on devices for quite some time.

I found out what the problem was and it was that /system ran out of free space. After re-flashing to the modded RC8 firmware, I had some free space and was able to copy IM.odex to /system/app. However, after rebooting when I tried to launch IM, it will just go back to the desktop after a couple of seconds. I will try to download the modified IM.odex again and see if I had a corrupted one by accident...
KS
@Keyser.Soze:
Any luck installing it? Did you tried with RC8 Jesusfreke v1.3?

I updated to v1.3 today and I noticed that there's more free space in /system. I was able to copy IM.odex to /system/app but after reboot I still get the same result: the IM program won't launch now and will throw me back to the desktop in a second. Don't know what's wrong...
Hmm, i wonder if we can get in contact with the original poster... he didnt really describe how he made/patched IM.odex to make it work. Perhaps its a version problem atm?
MSN does use txt messages just got my bill for 160$ i had the g1 unlimited data plan with 400 txt msgs
should i call t-mobile?
Just tried this myself and its not working for me either.
Currently using JF's RC8 and it just starts to open the IM app then closes and goes back to the home straight away... would really like to get this working.

I'm in Canada, and my Phone has never touched T-mobile's networks.... (SP1 here, Activated by forcing Wifi) That said, I haven't had any problems with it, nor have I had SMS messages being used? That said, I don't have a data plan so I only connect by Wifi..... soooo your experiences may vary?
Meeker
I was having the same issue before and I just tried this fix and it worked perfectly. I have JF mod30 v1.3 installed and now I can log into msn fine.
But there is a reason that people are using rc8 instead of rc30... (because they dont want myfaves $$$)
Did anyone tried this hack on the ADP1?
I am pretty certain that the built in MSN client will work over WiFi, but not over a cellular IP data connection (GPRS, 3G etc).
I'm in the UK and I have an unlocked US device. When connected via WiFi, the MSN client will log in and work correctly, but if I disconnect from the WiFi network it will complain that it cannot read the phone number from my UK sim card.
Therefore, I believe that it designed to use SMS messages when it cannot connect via WiFi so that the operators can derive some revenue from it.

Ok heres my story , i have friends in Pakistan which i want to send sms's to every once in a while but since im in America international SMS's are pretty costly. I know if im sitting to my pc i can use those web to SMS sites like http://www.telenor.com.pk/services/webtosms.php but when im on my phone ( which is a touch pro and i have unlimited data so tht aint an issue) i cant load these sites as they use java and the app wont load on my phone.
My question is is there any way to get these kind of sites working , or any other way to send sms for free to pakistan ? specifically a telenor number?
Im open to any suggestions. Thanks.
Still looking for ideas please.
No one has any ideas??
If you can find out their provider's SMS email address, then you can email them and they'll receive it as a text.
For example, I'm with Bell Mobility, and their's is my 10-digit number followed by @txt.bellmobility.ca.
You can probably find it on the internet somewhere.

Well, to begin, you do not have to use specialized services to send SMS. If you use IM, most major ones (AIM, Messenger, etc) will let you send SMS too. Likewise, if you install AIM/Messenger on your phone, you can use them to send SMS to your friend too.
If I may, however, I would suggest you use Google Voice. See, GV has a neat trick which allows you to do international SMS with no extra charge (do not try it with international calling, though, as it will not work). Using Google Voice is much, much easier, doesn't require any extra programs, and work exactly like a regular SMS (so you can SMS through your phone, but send through GV instead of regular). Prior warning, though: Sending SMS through GV won't get you any extra international cost, but it will still cost you the regular SMS charge, so if you do not have texting, be careful.
I myself have not done it, but others have already, and they reported success: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/voice/thread?tid=47d001a0c15f6f1e&hl=en
here in phil im using mjoy.com, i dont know if will work in ur country. sorry for my bad english.
OK i do have a GV account and have tried texting my frined with it but i dont think he gets the msgs so unfortunatly its a no go for me , from the link u posted it seems like a hit or miss kinda thing too.
That mjoy this looks intresting but its so slow still hoping there is some easy way

SMS to Pakistan
I would try a free web sms from you phone at:
smsfree4all.com/free-text-pakistan.php
Let me know how it goes.
Hi All
Basically, im after an application which allows me to send SMS through 3g, rather than clocking up SMS 's on my mobile bill.
I dont mind paying for them, e.g. via a 3rd party website by purchasing sms credits in bulk, but i just want to be able to send SMS's via the Internet
Windows Mobile platform preferred, or a website might even work.
Thanks
There are several websites which offer the service, so some of them should be accessible via Opera Mobile.
I've not used it myself, but a quick google suggests that Skype on WM can be used to send SMS.
Google Voice does it for free. So does Text plus.
hi, Im looking for some apps,than I can send a text message from internet to O2 network. sms gate or something
Have you tried using google voice? There is an sms option, it's in browser though so I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for.

An SMS is an SMS. It doesn't matter which method is used to send it, the recipient will receive it on whatever phone they own. As mentioned above you can send it via IM, Website..etc.
Doesn't Skype have this ability?

What he's saying is that he wants a slice of the free cake I guess.
He wants to be able to send something (which costs the network operator money to send it to someone else) for free.
I guess there's nothing like that for you, sir.
I do know that certain network operators in my region (Singtel, Starhub of Singpaore and Maxis, Digi of Malaysia) allow customers to connect to their website and send a WebSMS from their own sites but there is a certain limit a day. However, this only applies to SMS sent to their customers who are on their communication network though.
maybe you can try textplus. Search for it on Market because the system doesn't allow me to post outside link 'cause i'm new user try it!
Im looking for something like text plus but in this app I can send a free sms only to usa and canada. Im looking for something what will work in UK
