A small free program that sends free SMS via various SMS gateway websites.
GenieTexter Features:
Easy Texting - Easily login, send, check how many texts you have and logout of a wide range of SMS sites.
Scripting - GT reads XML scripts that define how to communicate with different sites.
Service manager - Allows you to manage your scripts. Update, Install, Delete and view.
Multicast SMS - In the To: field place semi colon delimited numbers.
Auto Chop - If the message is too big it will try and find a space within 15 characters of the end and chop there if not then will split a word.
Address Book - Names and Number can be stored in an address book, once in here you can refer to people by there names rather than their numbers. You can also select a range of people from the address book if you want to send it to loads of people.
Auto complete - Not only do you only have to type the name of the person youre sending to, yes there is auto complete as well!
Outbox and Sentitems - If a message fails in goes into the outbox if it succeeds it goes into the sent items. The user can also que a message and it then goes into the outbox, messages can be sent individually from there or using the send que function the whole lot can go. You can turn this off if desired.
Logging - You can tell GT to log everything it sends and receives to a file called SMSConnectionLog.txt, this is usefull when writing scripts.
Error display - Sometimes the websites go wierd, theres nothing we can do about it. When this happens GT will log the page it hasnt recognised. HTML and HTTP headers will appear in the errors directory where you installed it so you can assertain exactly what the problem is. This is also handy when debugging scripts. If you delete the error directory no errors will be logged.
Cookie Logging - Cookies once logged in are stored and reused, the user can set how long these are kept for, however i got bored after this so they may last longer.
Proxy Support - This progie will work thro a proxy server just specify it in the setup. On first execution if IE is setup to use a proxy genie will take that. However HTTPS transfers and Update in the service manager always go through the settings in internet explorer.
POP3 checking - Genie Texter has the ability to check a pop3 email account in two fashions.
1) Normal Client: This checks your email and if you have one it will send you a text with who it is from and the subject.
2) Jammy Client: This checks your email for any with the subject SMS, it then reads the body and if it finds a string like STARTSMS:, (ending with a return). It will route it too a text using whoever is logged in. This i wrote for a friend who doesnt have web access at work just email.
Multiple POP3 account checking - To do this set the settings for the account in the setup dialog, click ok to save those settings. Now click on the Start POP3 checking, the settings are then transferred into the memory of that window. This means that you can change the settings and open another window that is checking something different.
POP3 Filtering - Rules can be applied to the SMS notification of emails.
POP3 Notification Customisations - You can specify how much of the body is in the notification and what it looks like.
Command Line - Type GenieTexter -? for list of commands
Attempts - GT can keep trying to send a message until successful for a given number of times.
Intelligent Progress bar - Every time you successfully login,send,get texts left or logout of a service GT remembers how much data was received and therefore can always accurately draw the progress bar.
