This guy is under no obligation to provide this mod at all. He does not get compensated for it, so cut him some slack and be happy with what you get in the free version! I've never seen a bigger group of people crying that they're not happy with something they are getting for FREE!

That's the problem - you're looking at it in such black and white. You think that because I'm not including all the companies, I'm simply trying to charge for that list. The difference between the free and paid versions is a lot more than the companies included. Consider:

1. The previous version for vB 3.x has been discontinued for a year and a half;
2. The previous version was only guaranteed compatible up to vB 3.7;
3. The subscription version includes 7 more notification types than the free version now (8 more than the free version then) including really cool ones like being texted when someone registers or signs in;
4. The subscription version allows users to set hours they will and won't receive texts, so they won't get texted in the middle of the night;
5. The subscription version is fully supported, including installation and compatibility help;
6. Aside from the company list, the free version now already improves upon the old one because of an additional notification type (visitor messages) that wasn't present in vB 3.x

There's a lot more value in the paid modification than just the companies involved. The other reason I decided to keep most companies under the subscription version is because being in the U.S. I can't easily verify, troubleshoot, and add non-U.S. companies. It takes a lot of research and work to figure out what the newest international company settings are, and to try to work with users in each country (generally through language barriers) to test and verify these settings. Since this work is ongoing, compensation for it is not unreasonable.

I understand everyone is angry the full company list is not included, but it's pretty useless to include it when a lot of the listings didn't work and there wasn't an easy way to update them on the thousands of forums using the modification. Therefore, I stand behind my current versions and their respective free/fee status. :up:

Well said, Rob! Thank you for making the free mod!

Hear me or READ this, you've got a fantastic MOD with wonderful features, free and paid.

BUT, the features don't mean anything without the ability to barely use it because you provide only two carriers and your Paid Subscription price is ridiculously high.

Rob, you're an extremely talented man, but it just looks like you're a bit on the greedy side.

I think people are screaming/begging you to do something reasonable. If you want to sell the list, sell it then, but don't charge $10 a month.

Most of your potential customers are administrators of their web sites. If like me, they spend 10 to 12 hours a day, without pay to keep their site running. Most of us do it for free and most of the mods here are for free without dangling an upgrade for a price in front of their faces.

Installed free version. Played with it then looked into the cost.

Clicked uninstall. It's just too expensive.

It's easy to complain when you don't read the entire thread. I'll summarize: there are now four companies, more will be added on a regular basis, and the paid version pricing will be adjusted shortly.

Sheesh. :erm:

Please don't misconstrue my grandstanding as anger or a whining complainer. I was trying to persuade you to do something different with a brilliant product. Maybe I should of thrown some smilies in my statements.... :) :) :) :) :) :) :) hope those make up for the ones I didn't send :)

Glad you're listening to your fans :) and my apologies for not catching the improvements ( 4 companies and pricing will be adjusted).

Thank You!!!!!

Thank you greatly Rob for adding more clients and also adjusting your price. I for one have a couple of websites that are greatly appreciative of this mod and are willing to pay for more service and features.

Thank you again for your hard work! :)

There has been enough discussion of the "commercial" version in this thread now. Our rules permit the author to link to a paid version, not discuss it - something he has made quite clear.

This thread is the free version, if you have problems or issues with that version, by all means post in this thread. If you wish to discuss the paid version then take it to PM, or the authors site, not this thread. Any more such discussions are liable to be deleted without notice, and continual flouting of the rules can lead to infractions.
