@Kartus
Sunrise and Swisscom added
@kkidd5
Mobistar added

other ones won't work, look for an update within 24 hours

 

@Codisimus

Thanks for adding mobistar!

 

@Codisimus

Could you add Virgin Mobile Canada? (Phone#@vmobile.ca <-- If thats how you set it up in the plugin)

Also does the most recent version include the texting back feature? If so it is not working for me. Sending out messages but receiving back in-game does not.


EDIT: If the most recent version does not I would love to be a beta tester if you want.

 

The most recent version does but only for a few carriers and for very short messages, the version that I am releasing tonight will most likely work for all carriers (that are supported of course) Thank you for finding #@vmobile.ca I will add it into the next version (tonight) The versions I am pushing are technically beta for sending texts to server but they are stable enough to release

 

<3 Nuff Said.

 

Why do you request this? I need a reason to add it

 

Could you add Ventelo support? (Norwegian)

 

I cannot find an sms gateway for Ventelo

Background

Most residential ISP's block ports to combat viruses and spam. The most commonly blocked ports are port 80 and port 25.
Port 80 is the default port for http traffic. With blocked port 80 you will need to run your web server on a non-standard port in conjunction with a port 80/web redirect from No-IP.com.
Port 25 is the default port for sending and receiving mail. ISPs block this port to reduce the amount of spam generated by worms on infected machines within their network. If you need to send legitimate email and your ISP blocks port 25. Consider the solutions from No-IP.com

@Dellums
In my code I don't even put in the port number, It must use 25 by default? I'll add an option for manually setting ports

 

thanks this should fix the problem for me, and anyone else who has it

 

all i get is sending message... send failed

 

ILL TEST!!

 

I'll certainly test...

but how exactly does it work? (i'm damn curious)

I have not even downloaded it yet but a cooldown would be great so I dont get spammed 50 times a day by my moderators.

 

OK I GOT IT!!! FIRST
make a gmail (e-mail) account for ur server
2nd add the user name to the file
3rd add the password to the password line and the passwordencripted line
so example
#Sun Jun 12 08:15:33 MSD 2011
[email protected] <--the e-amil account u made
IMAPHost=imap.gmail.com <--dont touch
SMTPHost=smtp.gmail.com <--dont touch
Password=whatever <--the password u made
PasswordEncrypted=whatever <--the same as above

save it upload it add perms nodes /reload and DONE!!!

@Codisimus
my users cant make an account but thay can text me here my prems 2.7 file what am i dotng wrong? i know its .txt file its really a .yml

 

The only spam protection so far is a limit of a certain amount of texts per day.
The next version will allow you to send a text back saying disable to disable retrieving texts

correct except that you don't need to fill in the Encrypted line (it will automatically be filled in)

I found a new way to do permissions which will hopefully fix this

 

@Codisimus When will v0.5.4 be out. I am waiting for it with anticipation . Thanks for this awesome plugin.

 

I'm working hard to get Version 0.6 out tonight but It might not be till tomorrow night

 

Ok . No worries take your time

 

Hey, great idea for a plugin. running into a problem, however. Ingame I cannot send a message to myself. Permissions are set to all, it says it sends the message to my phone (sending message.... message sent!)(verizon), yet I don't actually receive the text. Any idea?

Having issues "enabling" emails

Dont have my cell ATM to test that. But It sends the initial message from server to email saying reply 'enable' to activate. I reply enable and enable only. Then go ingame and try to send a message and it says the email is not registered. Any help (I hope this works )

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

well iv tested it for telus and bell and i get send failed!

 

if it is succesfully enabled it will send you a confirmation text, if you try texting something besides enable it will proly send you back a message telling you that you need to enable it if you want to use it.
Do you see any errors on your console?

did you type in a 10 digit number (like 111-222-3333 or 1112223333) if you add the countries number code thingy at the front it proly won't work

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

yes i typed 2508****** and it says sending failed!

if u want u can join my server and test it on there 96.54.230.223

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

then the sms gateways must be incorrect... They are both Canada right?
try replacing the gateway for bell to @txt.bellmobility.ca do that by editing the sms.gateways file if you can't figure out how let me know
