Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the development and testing of an ASP site designed to send free SMS messages worldwide. Participants share their experiences, challenges, and comparisons with existing services, focusing on performance issues and design feedback.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant reports developing an ASP site for sending free SMS but notes it is still under testing and appears slow.
  • Another participant inquires about the specific issues faced, whether related to site access or SMS sending.
  • A participant mentions that ICQ offers free SMS to some Australian mobile networks, but its effectiveness overseas is uncertain.
  • Another participant compares their system with ICQ, highlighting that while ICQ has a daily limit on SMS, their system does not impose personal limits, although there is a system-wide limit that adjusts over time.
  • One participant explains the functionality of the site, indicating that a popup window handles the SMS sending process and should not be closed prematurely.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express varying opinions on the performance of the ASP site compared to ICQ, with some acknowledging the limitations of both systems. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the overall effectiveness and speed of the ASP site.

Contextual Notes

There are mentions of issues with the .TK domain servers, which may impact the performance of the ASP site. Additionally, the discussion includes confusion about thread numbering in the forum.

Hi everyone.
In the last two weeks i was trying to develop any piece of code that would send free SMS worldwide.
I unded up with an ASP site, which sends free SMS (almost) worldwide.
But ... it is still under testing, and it seems to be very slow.
Please feel free to visit it on www.brokenegg.tk[/URL] , and tell me what you think, and wether you see it too slow or it is ok.
Any comment or advice will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Edit:
Also tell me what you think of the design.
BTW, this is the thread number 1001 i think, this is strange cause the link shows this is thread number 1089, but in the forum statistics there are only 1001 threads ! (and i posted the last one i think, cause i checked the stats just after i made this thread).

Where exactly did you face the problem ? (opening the site or actually sending the SMS ?)
There are currently lots of problems with the .TK domain servers, therefore here is the alternative link :

ICQ sends SMS's for free to most Australian Mobile networks (certain networks allow it, some don't.) I know they have this service world wide, but I don't know how many networks it works for overseas...
 
Well, ICQ supports lot of networks overseas (it supports one of the two networks of Jordan), but the problem is the limit of ICQ.
ICQ limits you to 10 SMS per day, while my system does not limit you in any person basis (but there is a system-basis limit, which will be raised each time the limit gets closer to 0 (meaning : the SMS will never expire !)).
And, ICQ needs login, my system does not need any.
But ...
ICQ is faster than my system ! (host problems i think ..)
 
When the page containing "Sending Please Wait ...", another window will pop up.
The popup is the page that actually does all the work, so you are not supposed to close that window :smile:.
After sending is over, the page containing "Sending, Please Wait ..." will automatically reload into another page.
