soli, 1 more question..
how to judge whether the sms u send thru "gps" is free of charge? did ur bill will stated down sms detail from time to time? Im maxis postpaid user, but my bill didnt state down the detail of sms sent... so it very diff to judge whether it is free o not... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- anyway, really thanks for old newspaper's effort to share tis info This post has been edited by RME-RAnger: Jan 6 2009, 04:52 PM |

guys, there's this Eten user in other private forum claimed that he's been using this utility to send SMS with GPS coordinate for free....
i'm not sure is this for real and that's why i posted this out for you guys to try out. i couldn't really check as i'm a maxis post paid user with no itemized billing, and i would like to stress out that THIS UTILITY DOES NOT USE GPRS CONNECTIVITY TO SEND SMS [ as my device has all GPRS data connectivity blocked ]. the worst scenario is that, each SMS send out using this utility will be charged as your normal telco SMS rate, nothing more ! it would be really helpful for all of us here if someone using prepaid to test it out. note : if this utility doesn't help to send out SMS for free, i'll change the title of this thread to avoid further misunderstanding. thanks. |

QUOTE(Baronic @ Jan 6 2009, 02:58 PM) 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. yeah.. i'm using D98 plan and i'm pleased if the sms was sent using 3G/HSDPA/GPRS (data connection).. which means i can send 1000MB of sms's to my frens freely... but like i said earlier, it didn't even connect my data connection automatically.. what i did earlier is to test in what basis the program uses to send the sms.. and the result is, it uses Celcom SMS .. neither GPS signal nor data connection .. it's not free at all ..The fact that u cant send out the message in flight mode says much. can someone do further testing, i'm on postpaid old newspaper: no worries, this is very useful program (at least for me) as i need to know my coordinate in simple way for my job.. no need to run GPS Proxy anymore |

"send SMS with GPS coordinate for free"
if you read it correctly.. sending the co-ordinates at no extra charge considered free? |

It just sending normal sms which you need to pay for it.
While the GPS function just showing where u're located right now. It works with external GPS also. |
