[APP]Send Free SMS via Way2SMS.com

aman11dhanpat · May 20, 2010

Hello all guys

this is my very own 1st application
well i started it to program just for my own use but then thought of relesing it might be someone would be using it or get some use of it
well as way2sms.com provides free SMS service all over india so using it and without wasting our money much on SMS
we can send SMS

also i consider myself as a very poor coder cos i am still learning
so to reduce the DATA TRANSFER form way2sms's site i had made a simple PHP script which will act as an intermediate for sending the SMS

i assure you that none of your DATA or personal information is saved

i'll shortly relese the Source as well as the PHP script so that you can use it on your own website

ok so here are some of its screen shots

KNOWN ISSUES

Some times gets hanged
Tested only on qvga only (need someone to test on other models too)
SMS bBomber is still being programmed so may be lag sometimes
Phone numbers must be edited manually(means you have to remove +91 or 0 from your number to send message manually)
as usual no search option while adding contacts
no Beta testers till now

Versions updates
Latest - version 1.5

Checks user details by sending SMS to Self
SMS bomber Now working
Cleaned Code and some tweeks
avg. of 7 KB data usage for 100 alphabets of SMS

Hi Aman,

I tried this app but I am not sure if it is sending the SMSes. I connected my mobile to wifi and tried. It gave me message the "Sent all". Also there are no OK and cancel buttons on some Menu popups in case i just want to go back without changing something. Just take a look.

Thanks,
Mohit

I am currently in offc so cant try now,
but what i remember is that i tried both ways and it gave that Sent all after like 5-10 secs.
And in case settings are not correct wont it show error?

now i think that it actually worked
you can check your "sent sms" tab in way2sms site if you ever think it didnt worked

"And in case settings are not correct wont it show error?"

that error handeling is still be made will be relesed in next version

LaZi3b0y · May 22, 2010

Thanks for your reply
if possible can you send me 1 screenshot of the application(thanks in advance)

carlosba9 said:

i hope 8 digit numbers are not working for now
please use a 9 digit number or try some of your frnd's 8 digit number i hope it will work

anyways the new 7 digit numbers are not at all compactable with way2sms
(i hope they are implementing the new system soon)

insestito said:

NO
This application uses http://way2sms.com for sending all the SMS

tinobeano84 said:

Yes this application works only in india only
you can use on any windows based mobile device
(i havent yet tested it on any smart phone but it might work on it too)

backlashsid said:

well i had just used webrequest (no proxy or encryption in between)
it is just directly to mobile to my PHP script
yes i had used php script to reduce all the necessary send and request data which would be nothing just extra charge per sms
as according to benchmarks the avg. of 7 KB is used to send an SMS of about 100 alphabets
so which i consider good enough

aman11dhanpat · May 23, 2010

Answers

1.> I actually designed it for windows mobile 6.1 and 6.5
if thats the case i'll relese another version with a smaller GUI
and if possible can you please can you post here a Screen Shot which can help me with developing

2.> if GPRS is not connected it will try to connect the default GPRS automatically . and it really looks irritating to me too
but its just for my understanding
i'll update the error handling to a whole new next level

------------

Thanks for your precious reply Please keepon reporting bugs

Nice App.. I ws expecting something lyk this..
I am using Aircell, So with a recharge of Rs.98 I get unlimited Internet for 30days.. So this app will be of gret help for me to send free sms'es

Little Review:-

Working on My Samsung Omnia i8000, WinMo 6.5.3, WVGA Screen.

I got the test message as soon as I saved my settings..
But when I try sending SMS, it actually doesnt work, I also check my Way2SMS sent box and no sms in there, but when I re-launched the application it worked..

SMS Bomber Failed with an error message at the very first time..
But when I tried again.. It worked..!

Bug:
When I send msg through SMS Bomber, along with my msg I get a string of alphabets & Numbers.. See screenshot..

Few Sugestions..
1. INtegrate Phonebook
2. If possible link it to the SMS box or if u can make a standalone msg box.. so while sending SMS we can select way2sms or sms provider to send msg's..

SMS bomber has a series of 32 random chracters
because if we send like 300 SMS to a mobile within 50-70 seconds with same message
there are chances that way2sms will bann you (or even worse than that)

i'ld really like to take a view at your suggestions
also working on integrating it with normal SMS mode in native C++
but lets see if it is really possible
