smstt.com back online!!!

[Spazosaurus]

TSTT finally decide to open back the internet to phone gateway. Messages can only be sent to GSM phones though..which isnt good news for pple still on ght TDMA network (like me). I hope they enable TDMA soon.

snap!!
dred, i was on the site just this weekend, and saw no change

glad it back up tho.. christ, tha gonna save man real money now..lol last month bill alone i send 121 msgs.. and thas a slow mth

[Spazosaurus]

Ent!!!...but who knows how long it will be up for this time. Last time I believe they took it down due to abuse. Knowing Trini as i do, once the word spread...that poor gateway go get soooo much abuse and TSTT go take it back down again lol.

[Netizen1]

I just checked... looks like it's down again. But check the stats...

2,045 messages sent for the month up to Feb 5th
22 messages sent yesterday.

rest assured the word's already spreading...

[disciple]

still down, but i tried www.vazu.com, and that works..

the only catch is that you need to provide a working celly number in the 'from' field.. which kinda sucks, imo

[Netizen1]

Well as of March, the site is live again... and talk about brisk!

forget about messages to TDMA cells... that is definitely not workin

Anyone know if/when we can send email (read mobile alerts) to our cells via 868xxxxxxx@tsttmobile.co.tt

Hey ppl...Its great that smstt is back up...but I have a problem...how come I can't recieve text messages and I have a gsm phone? my phones are the motorola c200(crap) and the sony ericsson t202. can u anyone tell me wats wrong?

[Netizen1]

Can you send/receive texts from your handset? If so, then try to contact the webmaster;

Contact: enter SMS in the "To Cell" field. or email sms@smstt.com

That being said, I just noticed today that you can email your phone thru www.smstt.com now...

You can send an email to 868xxxxxx@tstt.smstt.com for delivery to your phone.
This service works with GSM only. TDMA phones are not supported.

w00t!!!

tested it and it works, not as fast as a direct text to your phone, but at least you can enable your mobile alerts again (for those who use that)

http://www.tntsms.com/version5/   

which has been out a long time now people...has all the features and speed of smstt

i find it better than smstt too cuz the page itself is more decent

[dax]

I tried using tntsms and i still can't get text on my phones. Can anyone explain y?

[Spazosaurus]

Well its back down again for an indefinate period of time. Damn that sucks now i dont have any way to text to digicel phones since o dont have one.

[bitablood]

is a tstt problem or is the website fault that sms can/t be sent, anyone know?

[Spazosaurus]

I dont think its a problem. I think TSTT just took it off due to abuse and will put it back on when they are good and ready.

Actually, if you recall, recently they were doing a verification code after hitting send...well, it just so happens that that verify code bit was actually just a redirect to the Rogers' SMS page (Rogers is one of the telecom companies up here in Canada). If you'd ever used the tntsms.com site, you'll know what I mean...cos they were outright redirecting you to the Rogers' website when you hit send to do the verify code, rather than just showing that portion of the page as smstt.com did...

As it turns out, the Rogers' SMS admin has blocked both sites...and for that matter, I think he has put a lock down on the 868 code...cos I made an SMS page of my own and it was working just fine, but in the last couple days, peeps haven't been receiving my texts...what I don't understand is why everything was being routed through Rogers...why should text messages have to pass through the international gateway? Why doesn't TSTT provide this service on their own website??

[TriniXaeno]

because it is free.

10 million text messages sent for free via the web = 0$ income.

10 million text messages sent via TSTT phones = $5 million dollars income. ( @ 50 cents a text)

The fact that people abused the online service in the first place with that kidnap message broadcast to all phones gave them the perfect excuse to shut down the gateway.

bastards

I hope digicel offers the service online for free somehow. That may get TSTT back online.

[Czar]

It was a rhetorical question

[sarah101]

i wish if smstt.co can work why its not working and always offline i need to know you can e mail me and let me know

[Spazosaurus]

It's not working because TSTT has decided to take it offline for whatever reason (i guess they losing profit from loss of texting customers or just plain wickedness). I dont think it will ever be the same again in terms of leaving it on permanently even if they reconnect it at all.
