Ok So if someone has a copy of this program, that sends the SMS messages I would like to take a look at it. Anyone feel like sending it to me? Thanks!

Is this the one that sends the Premium SMS? I think David wants to debug it...

Try Explode Arena!. I just put it on my phone and it looks cool, it supports up to 4 players at one time via bluetooth! - deathmatch & capture the flag would be pretty funny i would imagine playing on bluetooth.

Since one the replies here told us about the craked Mosquitos game sending SMS to a premium number in UK, I thought it would be interesting to let you guys know about an article written by a friend (D. Hettel), who found out how the cracked version works, how it sends the SMS without the owner knowing, and other things. Read the article here (link to this thread on section 2).

You right about that Mauricio...that is a very interesting read!. Pretty freaky what people can make your mobile phone do with the user unaware.

I'm sure my version of that game is not doing all that, but after reading the artilcle...makes wanna delete it just incase.

I only noticed that mine was sending messagtes because I had the delivery reports turned on and the delivered messsage was popping up over the game.

When the bill came, the numbers only cost 10p each not £1.50 which I was very pleased about.

I haven't had trhe guts to try another version of mosquitos since though.

I had a friend try a different version which also sent messages. It is possible to get round the message sending by setting up an invalid text message centre, but thats a bit of a long way around.

I did find a game called moorhen x or something like that, was a similar game but not quite as good. The mosquitos game is actually packaged as standard with the Siemens SX1 and has been tidied up a little.

RE: Stolen copies of Mosquitos sending premium SMS.

To put it very bluntly, don't you think you deserve all you get from installing downloaded pirated software? Shame it was only 10p you were charged.

For the sake of how little these games cost, don't you think making some kind of contribution would be good? Carry on the way you are, and nobody will bother making games any more, and then you'll not have anything to steal anyway.

GamesMaker, this is a very good point. When I started using a US Robotics Pilot (this was 1996) software was available at $5, and people were trading pirate copies. Now software for mobile platforms (Pocket PC and Palm) cost an average of $19 and people still pirate.

It seems that even low priced items are target for people that think this should be free - something that I thought would be changed in the last couple of years with all publicity around this kind of behavior.

Note that we do not condone any trade like this (remember Geekzone even run a software store now).

Yada yada yada. I love people like you who pretend to be all high and mighty and then sit on a PC full of pirated software. LIke youve never done something slightly dodgy.

I personally would pay money for the game if I could find a supplier, as Ive paid for a number of games. The premium shortcode is one of ringtonekings but they dont stock the game to my knowledge.

Not a trojan?

The developers now claim that this SMS functionality was there since the beginning, and it wasn't introduced by the craked code. It was a "copy-protection" mechanism.

Yeah, right. If the program is designed to send a SMS to a premium number and the developers don't say anything to users, then it is not a copy protection. It's at least a way to make more money.

Where's the testing before the release of a program? Are they going to refund the money to users?

They say that new versions don't have this "feature".

People who download cracked versions of games only have themselves to blame

If you want to pay to play go to The Games Arcade

I made a Symbian trojan that dialed a number in just a weekend and set the level 1, 5 key as the accept and send keys. works a treat!

Hmmm. Isn't strange that you're inviting people to visit your website, and you say that you've create a dialer program? It may scare people away from your site this way.
