    Can you find out if orange do the same?

    Please?

    :A


    I am with Orange and it seems to work fine. I sent myself a text and got it immediately. I did have to follow a link to make sure my phone was set up correct.

    When you register you give yor credit card details to Vyke and can then top up in 10 either £ $ or euros.

    With SMS Bug you can buy with a CC or by paypal (50 c surcharge for paypal (euros)) later, no pre registering of a cc required.

    Well, I signed up for the free trial and was unable to download the pro version. Bearing in mind I have a V3i I thought that it would be possible to download the pro version:confused:

    Anyhow, I then go to make a call and am also unable to utilise my mobiles phonebook through Vyke:mad:

    Seem's to me that there's no real point in having this service if I've gotta carry a paper phonebook arround with me:confused:

    Anyone else tried with a Motorola V3i? If so, any luck?

    Cheers

  • For anyone on T-Mobile, as of a few days ago, you now pay £1 for 'unlimited' WAP usage (excluding addon downloads?). So for a quid you get unlimited texts to send for 24hours - apart from, if there is any (just quickly browsed Martin's article) Vyke costs.

    I've been trying to downoad this program all afternon onto my samung d900 am on a t-mobile ufix contract. The pro version doesnt seem to let me install it when it gets to near 100% it cuts off saying install error. I then tried installing the lite version this worked but not properly when am sending a text there's no option to go into my phone book and have to type the number in manually.

    does anyone know how to get into the phone book?

    I must be completely stupid... I've been to the above link, entered my mobile number and get to this web page where I still see nothing about 30 free text messages. HELP!

    http://www.orange.co.uk/?token=250143951995

    Click on "e-mail and communicate" along the top then "send a text message" down the left-hand side (under Mobile Tools'). Then you have to put your mobile number and a password in. Hope this helps
    That's life, it's just the way it is :)

    Another Idiot here... Where [can anyone tell me] does one click on the O2-linked-website for the 10 free texts...?
