Vodafone - Allow International Webtexts to be sent.

Anonymous — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 17:47:00 -0000

Vodafone recently added support for sending messages to international mobile numbers.
It is not possible to send to International numbers from JSMS however as it seems to perform a check on the number before attempting to send through the web interface. It would be nice to be able to use this feature through JSMS.

From the Vodafone Website:

International webtexts

You can now send webtexts to friends and family all over the world.

To send a webtext to someone in another country, simply enter the same number you’d use to call them from Ireland. For example to send a text to a UK number, enter 00447791234567 or +447791234567. For texts to Irish numbers, just use the usual format: 0871234567.

You can also save international numbers in your Contacts list.

Tip: Don’t forget that for most countries you have to remove the 0 after the international dialling code, for example people calling Irish mobiles use +353871234123 instead of +3530871234123.

JSMS should detect when website denies login

Keith Flynn — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 17:50:35 -0000

Some of the operators websites will deny logins after a specific number of failed login attempts. After this happens, the account cannot be logged into again until the lockout is reset.

In this case, JSMS will simply report an error logging into the account. However, it should detect that the account is "locked" and report it to the user along with instructions on how to unlock the account.

Add support for showing data plan

Requested by ozymandius on boards.ie:

Add support for:
a) data plan balance (if relevant)
and
b) the possibility to update this info without sending a text first?

It would be nice to provide an option in the File menu to "Import Contacts..." from

MS Outlook (Windows)
Mozilla Thunderbird (All platforms)
Address Book (Mac)
?? Any other

I am looking into what would be involved to do this. For Outlook some dude wrote some classes which use the open source Jacob libs so I will try and get this working...

Add GUI based phone book manager

Keith Flynn — Mon, 22 Oct 2007 22:33:34 -0000

We need a GUI dialog for editing the phone book.

Downloaded entries should be appended to phone book.

Keith Flynn — Mon, 22 Oct 2007 22:27:24 -0000

When downloading addresses from addressbook, downloaded entries should be appened to any existing entries rather than overwriting them.

Allow multi-user phone book access

Keith Flynn — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 19:59:59 -0000

It should be possible for multiple users to log into the same installation of JSMS and for each one to have exclusive access to his/her own phone book.

Add installer

Keith Flynn — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 15:26:09 -0000

We should provide an installer/uninstaller for the application.

The requirements are simple:
a) the installer must be platform independent
b) the installer must be FREE!!!! :-)

Enhance update checker

Keith Flynn — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 15:24:25 -0000

The update checker should be enhanced with the following features:

1. Show a progress dialog while the version number is being checked.
2. Provide an option to automatically download the latest version.
