Try to send a text from your providers website, if it works then cabbage should work, obviously you need the correct pin and phone number... and you have to have free texts left..
There is a slightly complicated test you can do, it's on boards... you have to change a URL to include your details and you get a error code, which can tell you what's wrong...
yep, cabbage is the business..
I get 80 texts from the phone for free per month, and 300 free webtexts.
Using cabbage is great from the PC.. full keyboard, easy to enter line feeds and numbers. Much quicker than logging onto the Vodafone, or whatever site to send.
Cabbage on the mobile is very good too.. but only really if you have a data bundle.. however operators seem to charge about 2c a KB outside a bundle.. so a text is about 1 or 2 KB, so cheaper than a full price normal text. (1KB = 1,024 characters, plus control characters, plus communication overheads, so 2Kb should be enough,)
Yes, you can get error messages, I used to get quite a few with vodafone, far less now with Meteor.. Sam Vimes who develops it seems to be very good and the problems are with the network providers, or with the users internet connection as far as I know... but cabbage does know when texts haven't been sent and gives an error message, allowing you to retry.. it can be frustrating when texts just won't send, as used to happen for me with vodafone quite a bit but hardly ever with Meteor.
Great program overall, and it's free.. defo worth having.. and it's discreet which is no good to me but I can see that being very handy for office employees!!!
