SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the development of an ASP site designed to send free SMS messages worldwide, accessible at www.brokenegg.tk. Users report that the service is currently slow and under testing, with performance issues attributed to hosting problems. The system allows unlimited SMS sending per user, unlike ICQ, which limits users to 10 SMS per day. However, ICQ is noted to be faster than the ASP site due to these hosting issues.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of ASP (Active Server Pages) for web development
  • Familiarity with SMS gateway services and their limitations
  • Knowledge of web hosting and performance optimization techniques
  • Basic experience with user interface design principles
NEXT STEPS
  • Research ASP performance optimization techniques
  • Explore various SMS gateway APIs and their limitations
  • Learn about web hosting options that enhance speed and reliability
  • Investigate user interface design improvements for better user experience
USEFUL FOR

Web developers, particularly those working with ASP, individuals interested in SMS gateway services, and anyone looking to enhance the performance of web applications.

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.
