Title: Google Chrome extension: Send a SMS Text from your web browser!
Post by: annoyingcalc on September 06, 2013, 10:37:53 pm
I have created an extension in Google Chrome that allows me to text in Google Chrome, you can send texts but not recieve them, I will post screenshots and a link to download in about 5 minutes!

EDIT: Download in my next post or at http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=16933.0;attach=15994


If you do not use Chrome you can still use this, head to http://[email protected]/

Will you eventually implement receiving?

Other than that I'd like to try it. :)

I don't think I will, I might, the reason is, I would have to create a database where users would need to register, make emails, I like the fact I can just click the button put in the info and it is sent.

Download Version 1

So how does this works via normal Internet means? I thought that texting required a mobile phone plan with a company or something? ??? Can this cause extra fees to people receiving texts?

I guess it's because the extension is not signed ? I don't use Chrome/ium anymore so I can't tell.

Really adriweb ? i dont get a manifest error im not using the latest version of chrome
Title: Re: Google Chrome extension: Send a SMS Text from your web browser!
Post by: annoyingcalc on September 08, 2013, 01:36:31 pm
Oh, probably because I didn't sign it, try this manifest then
Code: [Select]
{
  "manifest_version": 2,
  "name": "Free SMS Texting",
  "version": "2.0",
  "default_icons": {
    "18": "/images/icon19.png"
  },
  "set_action": {
"default_title": "Texting",
    "default_popup": "index.html"
                }
}
And that Also, If you don't use chrome or have problems I might have mentioned it already but
you can go to http://annoyingcalct1.site50.net/ for the same thing

You need to enable Developer Mode in chrome://extensions I believe.

You would enable dev options.
