I created a new account and tried to send again to cellcom numbers (from windows) and it failed with the same error. Can someone confirm it happens the same in linux? Can someone call cellcom and ask what happened? On Thu, Dec 31, 2009 at 1:59 PM, sara fink wrote: > I tried today to send sms to

Hi Sara, I heard a rumor, that Cellcom contract with ICQ has ended and Cellcom didn't renew their contract while Pelephone and Orange did. Again, it's just a rumor I heard from someone. I tried sending SMS using pidgin to my sister (she's a cellcom customer). She didn't get the SMS. Thanks, Hetz

Cellcom must have terminated their agreement with ICQ. ICQ sends SMSs only to carriers that have a contract with them. Cellcom used to have one. I guess they decided its not worth it. BTW, you might like to have a look at a program I wrote for this: http://smser.sourceforge.net/ It uses centerIM

Thanks. I use vicq from command line all the time. But, it wont send to cellcom users. Are there any other creative solutions? Someone told me now that since icq is part of aol, and aol has financial problems and probably will be closed, this might be a reason. to close the service. Is it possib

Hi, If you're using gmail, you can send SMS through there. Go to the "labs" tab in your settings, and enable "Text Messaging (SMS) in Chat" and "SMS in chat gadget". Save it, and in your contacts you can add the people's phone number and send an SMS to them (up to 50 chars). If they reply to you, y

I found few options, but they are not linux based and I haven't tried them yet. 1. msn messenger version 7 and up. msn messenger works under wine according to some forums. http://www.wine-reviews.net/wine-reviews/microsoft/msn-messenger-2008-and-2009-on-linux-with-wine.htmlwhich requires winetricks

I read on the media that the agreement between ICQ and Cellcom has ended today. Cellcom decided not to allow free SMS messages from ICQ any more, and also from Google. Here are the articles: http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-3828098,00.html http://it.themarker.com/tmit/article/9293 Uri Ev

I tried to use msn messenger 8.5 on windows and it says that the network is not supported. So, those who don't have cellcom phone to enter the web site and send max 5 sms/day, can't do anything. I believe that only pressure will make the change. On Thu, Dec 31, 2009 at 11:24 PM, sara fink wrote:
