Special Note :

please try out this utility yourself and report in for validation whether this utility really does send sms for free or not......i'd been told by the Eten user in other forum that this utility send out sms with attached GPS location for free. please give your feedback and confirmation.

if it does, then all GPS based PDA user is the happiest person in the world!

if it doesn't, then we all became the guinea pig d...lol and i'll change the title of this thread.....

bookmarked!

woohoooXDold news paper rocksXDhaha...

hmmmm, i get the technique, but i dont see how it bypasses the system. operators would still charge u for the sms although its sent out by the program.

since this is more of a....technique rather than application i'll let this stay for now.

thank dude

ya..i think it still charge from the operator rite?i dun understand leh..

Special Note :
the SMS send using this utility is absolutely FREE !^^ [ no charges from telco ] as it use the GPS connectivity to send the SMS.

enjoy !

^^note : pls try it and let me know if there's any charges on your sms by using this utility....as i don't have any itemized billing to refer to and pay my bill thru auto-debit from credit cards. i'm a maxis user btw....

hmmm, so u need GPS lock = must be indoors, and switch off AGPS else it would make no sense, so must wait around 30 seconds at the very least.

i'll stick to 1 cent per sms lolz. not that much saving really. unless overseas perhaps.

nice find though

NOTE: people if u're gonna post "thank u" or other stuff like that, DONT post at all

Still does not make sense ,

How can it use GPS connectivity to send the SMS , no exchange of information is performed within GPS systems

eh chill la, go read back both ur post ... if u dont like it nor u are not going to delete post like this, you dont have sound so somewhat like that

yes, you are right, there is no way u can get the GPS sats to send messages for you, still has to go through ur telco exchange, any sms'es that goes in and out ur phone, comes from ur telco exchange, so unless someone has got prepaid, then u can test it out ...

just test it out lor... switch off your network coverage... turn on this program n let GPS sends the sms.. look succeed or not..

Added on January 6, 2009, 6:28 ami've tried this with network offline.. it switched my gps on and searched for the signal n get the coordinate.. but it cant be sent if turn the network off.. which means it uses our telco network.. then i turned ON my network.. when i sent the sms, it didnt even connect to internet (data connection) which means it used my celcom sms.. if it uses data connection, we still can get free sms!! lets pray i wont get my bill Rm10 persms lol ..but its still a good n simple program to know our current coordinate and straight away send it to other ppl.. thnks old newspapers.. i really need this

He's just doing his job as a Moderator. Posts like "Thanks" , " Thank you " etc, is considered as spamming to get post counts. Try do it over PM

btw, old newspaper, this application only works on GPS phones and won't be able to work on mine T___T sad.

Hehe Bro. Time to change! Time to change!

the tweak is our phone need gps satelite coordinate locked right, then every time when we wan to send free sms must go out to outdoor? (understand gps wil get better signal outdoor)

Nothing is free in this world, but if this is free, then it's worth to get outdoor for sending sms.. IMHO

I dont think the GPS system is the one that sends the sms, but using data connection. and the cost of data connection is 1 cent per kb anyway, fixed i believe, no smaller lots. so unless u're using unlimited data connection, in which case u must be using post paid, u cant do this to save a cent (data charges would have killed u, especially if AGPS for quick fix PLUS data charge for the message itself). and if u ARE using postpaid u already have got money to burn anyway cuz if u dun use it it'll just go to waste.

The fact that u cant send out the message in flight mode says much.

can someone do further testing, i'm on postpaid

can't be using GPS coz signal only recieving...shud be using data or network sms...either way we get charge so no free at all....

Anywhere i can download it ??
