This will email instantly and make the text messages more real time. It is not recommended for larger forums because sending email takes a lot of resources, and larger forums send them in batches (using the vbmail function) to save on them.

Great mod.

Any chance Croatian mobile operators will be supported too (VIP, T-Mobile, TELE2, Tomato)?

robwoelich 07-09-2008 03:55 AM

I've finally gotten v1.2 done, or so I think. It's installed on my development forums at http://www.robwoelich.com/business/testforum/ if you want to try it out. I'm going to let it run there a day or two as well as have a few friends of mine test it before I release it to make sure everything is ok. Feel free to test it out on my development forum and follow the instructions in the beta testing thread there if you run into any snags. :)

The sooner it gets tested, the sooner you can use it! :p In the meantime, I'm going to spend some time verifying some of the cell company emails through the company websites. v1.2 includes cell phone emails that are marked as "Confirmed" if it's known that they're working properly. :) This will save some hassle in picking the right email.

Its working for me on 02 in the UK but some people have had trouble with it.

squishi 07-10-2008 09:06 AM

There are many pitfalls with this product.

You use "sms.de" for the German t-mobile customers. They have a limit of only 30 free messages per month. Besides, I am a t-mobile user and tried sending an email with the format you use and I did not receive the sms.

What you should add to the description of the mod is that some (or all?) companies will charge the cell phone users for receiving such emails, if you use the email address of the cellphone company directly.
For t-mobile in Germany, the address will be +49XXXXXXXXXXXX@t-mobile-sms.de, if I remember it correctly.

Mannesmann Mobilfunk:
Called now Vodafone (a couple of years)
Let the ?preemail? Field empty

ePlus
Let the ?preemail? Field empty

Yes,
it is working for me with "t-mobile-sms.de" but without "+49" maybe it works also with "+49" i did not tested that. You may change the settings direct in the Database.

Working just fine.

I changed the product file to Vodafone; enjoy!

Alright, v1.2 is released! :)

Please use this form to let me know about any problems, and this form if you want to request a new company be added/report a company that does or doesn't work.

Thanks!

BigDog56 07-12-2008 01:04 AM

Updated, no problems, thank you!

TheInsaneManiac 07-12-2008 08:29 AM

Great work!

Raptor 07-12-2008 03:51 PM

since updating i now get this msg when selecting Edit SMS

you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

however im super admin ?

edit: im stupid - all usergroup permission were set to no as default

okhissabigfish 07-12-2008 04:18 PM

Yeah...I made the same mistake, as I went in and set the user groups that could use the mod and didn't think that, as the Site Admin, that I too was a member of a group. The Site Admin Group.

Works great now!

Voted MOM and MOY :)

lapmonkey9 07-12-2008 09:24 PM

I can't seem to get a pin number to my UK O2 number

any advice Rob?

robwoelich 07-13-2008 03:49 AM

There were some instructions earlier in the thread on getting O2 working posted by somebody. May want to check them out. :)

I'm trying to get a database together of what settings work, which don't, and which require special setup with your phone company before you can use the MMS service if you need it. This is why you leave autoreporting on ;) and have your users report working or non-working numbers. Once a good database is built, this will all be included and displayed when someone sets up their number as necessary.

Kaycee123 07-13-2008 05:16 AM

It took a bit of fiddling to get this to show up properly under my User CP, but its working perfectly now!!


Thank you very much!!!:D:D:D

I would like to suggest a couple of cell phone companies in my country, but I have no idea what cell phone company MMS/texting e-mail is. How do I find that out?

Also, what should I write in the cell phone number lenght field?

Thanks in advance.

zigojacko 07-13-2008 12:09 PM

I have installed the latest updated version and am still not receiving my test text message on O2 :(

Google for "PHP mail headers" or something like that for explanations on how to use headers. Remember, though, that even if you specify custom headers, sometimes cell phone companies ignore them.

If you can find the email, it would be helpful and the fastest way for me to add it. A lot of countries outside of mine don't have English sites so it makes it hard for me to find information. Otherwise, just fill out the company name and country and I'll see what I can come up with. All of the fields on that form are optional.

Search in this thread for the instructions on activating M-Mail or MMS on O2. You have to do that before you can use it.

Hornstar 07-14-2008 07:29 PM

I was just wondering, will you be adding more options to this? for example: The ability to enable/disable sending of sms messages when you subscribe to a thread.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=224

Follow the link but basically you do this for o2

Mmail
With Mmail you can send and receive emails from your mobile without any complicated set up or subscription charges.

How Do I Send an Email?
You can send an email form your mobile in exactly the same way as sending a text message. The only difference is that you must type the email address then a space at the start of the text message. Then type your message and send it to shortcode 212.
e.g. 'your.name@o2.co.uk Hi there. Hope you're having a good day ...'.

How Do I Receive an Email?
For people to send an email to your mobile they must send it to your Mmail address - see below. You will receive the email in the form of a text message. The email can be as long as you like but it will be delivered in messages of up to 160 characters. The first message will also contain the sender's name, title of the email and the start of the email. In order to get the rest of the email you will need to request to read the next section. The number of the email you are reading will be shown at the bottom of the message. To read the next part of the email text the number of the email to shortcode 212.

How Can I Set Up Mmail?
Compose a text message with the word, 'ON' and send it to shortcode 212. Then simply follow the on-screen prompts. If, at any point, you want to cancel this service simply send the word 'OFF' to shortcode 212.

What's My Mmail Address?
Your Mmail address will be your mobile number with country code (+44 for UK mobile numbers) combined with '@mmail.co.uk' e.g.+447711123456@mmail.co.uk.

How Much Will It Cost?

It will cost the same cost as any text message to send a message or request additional parts. Any messages received will be charged at 10p (Inc Vat).

I think it would be great to have a notification if someone comments on your pictures in your album in 3.7! Any chance this could happen?

geevest.com 07-14-2008 09:51 PM

how about indonesia?

jeffinj 07-14-2008 10:48 PM

There was a typo:
Instead of saying 'try clearing your message'
it said 'try clearking your message'

Great mod btw but it did not work on my optus phone in Australia. May be its the phone/optus settings.

Lady Divus 07-15-2008 05:55 AM

Awesome! Installed and works purrrfectly! Thank you for this amazing Mod. Cant wait to introduce my members to it...Be well -

cellemail_explain has this one in it's phrases. Try editing it and it will be happy.

gpc10347 07-16-2008 03:41 PM

I just KNOW I read it somewhere but is there a stock response to users inquiring about who all can 'see' their actual phone numbers?

I'd like to say it works much like passwords but won't use those words just yet...

EDIT: Can you add Cricket to the list? email is number@mycricket.com

ALSO: How do I make US at the very top as my forums are for US.

Bug:
My members have told me that they have not received a PIN yet!

Rob, if you add 10digitnumber@mms.mycricket.com it will work for Cricket. I recieved this info strait from a friend of mine who works for Cricket...Most of my members live in the area/town that i do, and most of them use Cricket...I would appreciate it if you could update this for me. Thaxamillion in advance. Be well -

Hello all,

I'm in the process of moving and will be offline for a short while. Whenever I'm around a computer, I'll provide what support I can, but I can't really make any changes to the modification until I get all of my stuff moved over and my main computer unpacked. I will look into all of the above issues/info as soon as I can.

Thanks for being patient while I work through all this fun. :p Donations are appreciated, as this mod takes time and moving sucks. :D

Apparently cricket uses both mms & sms. sms seems to work better so I have the sms version attached.


and the sms version works a LOT better.

Captain Tycoon 07-20-2008 01:33 PM

Is it possible for a member to be able to block everyone from viewing the option to send them an SMS other than members in their friends list?

It appears that sms version works for me...I tried the mms version and it wouldnt work. Could it depend on the area, where Cricket is provided? Can both mms and sms be added to the mod so peeps can choose which works best for them?

sms.mycricket.com is CONFIRMED working for myself and my members...Nice Mod. We love it...Thank you
