It is not difficult to move any recordsets or update selected fields in selected recordsets so this situation never occurs . Quote For The Week Not long after the beginning, Satan created an idiot . That was for practice . Then he created bioterrorists - Anonymous |

| 112198 | 2005-01-28 01:52:00 | Word of warning: stay away from sms.ac which says it offers free texting (to a certain extent), but also sends you lots of spam via SMS.Which they also charge you for. Shift this thread or watch this board disintegrate the same way the previous forum did.That's a bit dramatic, so someone bumped a thread, who cares. It is not difficult to move any recordsets or update selected fields in selected recordsets so this situation never occurs.Nothing automated would be able to go through and make a value judgement as to which of the old threads should be in chat or pressf1. Quote For The Week Not long after the beginning, Satan created an idiot. That was for practice. Then he created bioterrorists - AnonymousAnd yay soon after the beginning, the Lord Jesus Christ invented the User CP. It was accessible by URL, and alloweth thy peasant to placeth their mind numbing quotations into a field that other users could disable thus saving their eyes from mindless dribble. pressf1.pcworld.co.nz Live it. Learn it. Love it. |

| 112199 | 2005-01-28 01:53:00 | http://www.sms.ac/ A friend sent me an invite (like a Gmail invite). I'm having trouble getting my phone activated, the activation txt isn't turning up. I've sent an email so will let you know the result. One problem is, they have Telecom as the carrier they use in NZ, but for their SMS short code number they list Vodaphone. If you want to try it on 021 I'll send you an invite. |

If you want to try it on 021 I'll send you an invite.They don't support Telecom, and if you are on Vodafone they send you text spam which you are charged around $0.50 - $1.00 to receive, generally in the order of one or more per day. Avoid like the plague. Edit: And an invite isn't necessary, anyone can go to the site and join up, but prepare to pay. |

| 112202 | 2005-01-28 07:57:00 | The news about sms.ac should really have been spread a long time ago. There was an article about a guy who copped a large bill from Vodafone after signing up to SMS.ac. I looked at it a couple of years ago and decided it wasn't worth it. I didn't know they charged you to receive spam messages then. However, I am now quite irate at my idiotic friends who obliviously signed up to SMS.ac and then sent me multiple invitations. I haven't bothered to tell them they shouldn't use it. :) |

| 112205 | 2005-01-29 21:26:00 | www.sms.ac Agreed - avoid www.sms.ac "Like the plague." I tried joining on that site last year and it never worked - nothing happened at all. Then after reading here on PF1 that it is bogus, I informed Vodafone - they were very interested and asked for details so I sent the the link to our PF1 thread. Vodafone were thankful and said they would take steps to counter whatever problems www.sms.ac may cause. |
