Hi All! I have just released a new version of sendsms. This version includes the following updates: - Orange updated to use http://sms.gt.com.ua/ which limits to two messages per destination per day, no subscription. - Pelephone updated to do BiDi inside for Hebrew messages. Users are urged to install FriBidi as explained in the script file. Users which do not install FriBidi will se digits and English reversed in Hebrew messages. - Pelephone email gateway added for backup if an English message is denied by the site. No additional modules needed. The release is available, as always, at: http://ilsendsms.sf.net/ A special mailing list is now available for sms related announcments.

When I finally managed to create an account and get to the SMS sending page (after several hours of trials!), I found on the send page the following disturbing statement, in Hebrew: "The tariff for sending an SMS message is 10 agorot including V.A.T.". If you were used previously to send 20 messages a day (which was Orange-Walla's limit, I think), it would now cost you 60 shekels a month. So not only your non-Orange-using friends can no longer send you SMSs on the Internet, but even Orange users will need to pay for it. These greedy Orange bastards really do have a lot of nerve... I invite Orange clients to call them up and shout at them. Remember, all other providers (cellcom, pelephone and amigo) let you send SMSs from the net for free. Also, all other providers don't require you to be their customer to send (cellcom does, but the alternative cellcom interface through ICQ doesn't, and I'll include it in a future version of sendsms). Actually, the issue here is the freedom, not the price. Most Orange users are already paying much more than 60 shekels a month for their service. The bigger problem is that now your friends cannot send you messages, central services (like announcing computer problems, announcing stock quotes, etc.) cannot work, etc. If you're a Big-Talk user, you can't use this service at all. And all this for a service that costs them pennies a month (if anything) to give you and they have the nerve to ask you to pay 60 shekels for it. Also, don't be suprised if the service suddenly costs 50 agorot instead 10 agorot, without any advanced warning. A month ago (when Dan wrote his script) the first 20 messages per diem were free. Now apparently they no longer are. Alternatively, if some Orange user finds a good site where you can send SMSs to Orange phones for free, tell me, or better yet write the code yourself into sendsms, and send me the (tested) code ;) -- Nadav Har'El | Saturday, Aug 17 2002, 9 Elul 5762 ny...@ma... |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |My greatest fear is that no-one will http://nadav.harel.org.il |remember me after I'm dead - some dead guy |

Dan Kenigsberg has already implemented support for Orange's site inside SendSMS, but I haven't yet released a new version. I'll try to do so in the next couple of days, but unfortunatelly I'm really pressed with time :( If you find an alternative that doesn't require owning an Orange phone, obviously it will be much better... -- Nadav Har'El | Wednesday, Aug 14 2002, 6 Elul 5762 ny...@ma... |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |This message contains 100% recycled http://nadav.harel.org.il |characters. |

Hi, The Orange/Walla site is down for SMS sending, therefore sendsms does not send messages to orange subscribers. Please suggest an alternative gateway that allows sending SMS to Orange, preferably unlimited daily messages, or limited messages with freely openable accounts (no phone needed). Otherwise, I'll try to reimplement using Orange's own site. Alon -- This message was sent by Alon Altman (al...@al...) ICQ:1366540 The RIGHT way to contact me is by e-mail.
