This morning I received a request to add Cellcom to our list of wireless providers. Now you can text Cellcom phones from the web via the form on our home page.

Send text messages to Rogers Wireless subscribers.

Another Canadian QwikTxt user sent in a request for us to add Canadian cell provider Rogers Wireless to our form. We’re now glad to welcome PCS Rogers to QwikTxt.

This past weekend we had a request to add Bell Canada to our list of wireless providers. Bell is Canada’s largest telephone and telecommunications company.

Qwest and Cincinnati Bell added to Providers, Plus Stats!

I continue to be pleasantly surprised by how many people are using QwikTxt. As of this post, 135 people have tried us out with many using our form on multiple occasions. Much as QwikTxt meets my need for one-click text messaging, my guess is that everyone else is finding it handy for the same reasons.

New Providers: Qwest and Cincinnati Bell Added
As per a couple of user requests, this past week I’ve added two new wireless providers to the QwikTxt form:

Send text messages to Qwest users.
Text your friends on Cincinnati Bell.

We’ve Got Stats
In addition, I’ve also added a stats page which shows how QwikTxt is growing in popularity. We started last week with less than 400 texts sent, and as of this writing, we’re now at 726 texts sent.

Glad you guys are getting some use out of QwikTxt. Be sure to share your story on how you use QwikTxt.

Orange Mobile (UK) Added to QwikTxt

QwikTxt now works with Orange!

This morning I had an email sitting in my inbox requesting that we add Orange Mobile to QwikTxt. I was able to add support for Orange; however, as I don’t know anyone on the Orange Mobile network, I need you to test it out, and let us know the results.

UPDATED: Error Alert: Some users’ messages are “Undefined”

Michael — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 09:40:12 +0000

In early beta testing, I’ve found that some users’ messages aren’t coming through properly. Recipients are receiving a text with the message being “Undefined.”

That sounds like the message variable is somehow not getting set in the backend script that sends the message. If you experience the same error, email me the message you were trying to send at info@qwiktxt.com. That will help me determine if these “Undefined” messages have any special characters in common that are causing the problem.

Update – 10/19/2009 – 11:46am EST:
I may have fixed this bug; however, I still need to hear from more people before I’m able to confirm.

In addition, I’ve added some code which may or may not catch this error. If the system receives a message with a value of “Undefined,” it should throw back an error to you and not send the message. If that happens, please send me the text of your attempted message at info@qwiktxt.com. That will help me in troubleshooting. Thanks!
