Hey guys,

Couldn't see it mentioned so thought I'd post.

Telecom Mobile customers, send a text to '300' with a mobile number in the message body and Telecom will reply with either

"This number belongs to a Telecom Customer"

or

"This number does not belong to a Telecom customer"



Hope it helps

I did this from a telecom phone,

got a blank message from 300

then a message from 300 containing

"<h2>Internal Error, yaws code crashed</h2><br /><hr /> <pre> Error erlang code crashed: File: appmod:0 Reason: {noproc,{gen_server,call,"

Then a message from 113 saying due to insufficiant funds i've been blocked from receiving chargable texts (even though my phone is in credit)

Then a message from 300 saying

[erms_msg_queue,{queue,mo,"MNP-MO-HTTP","MN

Then another blank message.

Guessing its not fully operational then?

I just did it from an 021 and got.

021******* is a currently active number on Vodafone's network. vdfn-vdfn call & TXT rates may apply for this number to check your plan go to vodafone.co.nz/plan

The url in the above text response does not work.

upon further investigation, it looks like the url in the text message is missing the 's' off plans.

It should read

vodafone.co.nz/plans

Interesting because the number I txt to 300 yesterday (from a vodafone) and the text had a 's' on the end of the url but today it doesn't.

Also if I text a character such as 'j' I get a "This system is currently unavailable. Please try again later"

Some coder out there needs a kick up the pants

Well, the copy and pasted text is 160 characters, so perhaps you only get the full link for a 6 digit number? Someone want to try it with an 8 and see if it loses another letter?

When I tried a number that is not on VF, it has the URL correct. Entire message is:

0xxxxxxxxx is not currently an active number on Vodafone's network. To check what your call & TXT rates are for this number visit vodafone.co.nz/plans

This message has a total of 150 chars, so maybe it is the 160 char limit.

EDIT: And the number I tried was an 021 number that was ported from VF to Telecom, so that part seems to work OK.

EDIT (Again): This was from a Vodafone phone.  When I tried on a Telecom phone, I got "This service is temporarily unavailable - please try again later."

I did it from my 021, i have not ported, and tested my number Tongue out

The total message length came to 153 characters, i may have edited it slightly for readibility.
