Hey Guys,

Long time watcher and lurker(made a new account as I lost the psw for the old one)

I made an app in my new hobby as a web developer. I made this today and thought I'll post it up before bed.

Check it out and let me know what you guys think.

Update 28/10:

Hi all,

I launched this a few weeks back but I had to shut it down almost immediately due to abuse.

Due to a huge demand I've bought it back with added safety and security features. There is also an optional paid feature to help pay for it.

IP addresses are now tracked and harmful words and intent are detected.

If people start abusing it again I will be forced to shut it down.

In case anyone is wondering, it's built almost entirely without code (some java to deal with JSON formatting limitations) using bubble.is

Feel free to reach out to me if you would like apps or websites build lighting fast and cheaper than conventional web developers.

Feel free to suggest idea's and features you would like to see.

      @SHPION

      Someone has spent their own personal time, energy, effort and shown innovation and creativity to share with the OB community … they could have spent their time, sitting on their butt and scratching it … and even potentially sniffing it on occasion, but chose to do a project and share it with us instead…

    I used to use a bunch of these free/cheap sms services and you could put any number in (smsfun?). However, I think there was some telecom rule/law put in place in the past few years that said you had to verify the sending number. Maybe someone else knows. Can't recall.

  • shamid202 on 13/10/2016 - 01:25

    It is based on the telstra Free 1000 sms API for developers. its limited to 100 SMS per day. so our users have already used todays 100 sms messages. tomorrow it will be reset again.

  • Spending2Much on 13/10/2016 - 01:27

    There was a website, where you could get SMS sent from any number and even a computerised voice message too, it was from a real estate website…..I used that one quite a few times to some success.

    I almost lost a 20+ year friendship over one of these sites, still haven't found out who sent the message but Telstra was called and very nearly ended up going to the police. Not a nice thing to have happen to you if you really want cause trouble people can be nasty as the OP has discovered.

  • shabaz on 13/10/2016 - 01:45

    This is just going to be short-term fun because the API will suspend the account once the SenderID matches the abused database.

  • Marrk on 13/10/2016 - 01:49
    +2

    I also remember smsfun, whilst spoofing who text messages are from can be fun for a prank, it can also be used for malicious purposes, if someone knows your number and doesn't like you. Relationships can be destroyed, people can be pushed over the edge..

    Labor were guilty of SMS spoofing earlier this year, when sending out SMS messages claiming to be from Medicare.

    I am not a fan of this 'deal'.

    I purchased it for my last company and have a large credit bank remaining.

    Absolutely seek legal advice if you are considering turning it back on. My recommendation is a big "no".

    You have no idea what the community can or will do with your site. You are liable for some / all of their actions.

    You have no idea about the privacy principles and laws required to store data.

    You have no idea what logs / metadata you are meant to be keeping.

    The police may come knocking on your door for an investigation and you can't claim incompetence as a defence.

    Examples -
    Someone receives a threatening message from your site pretending to be a partner or ex partner etc and incites real life violence.

    Someone is sent a message from the "police" (highly illegal).

    Someone is sent a message at a low point of their life and harms or kills themself as a result.

    • Gravy on 13/10/2016 - 09:18

      Yep, no offence intended to Geochiv but I think it's very shortsighted to think that services like this would not have a detrimental effect on some recipients.

        You must be living in a cabbage patch.

        NO, marketing agencies dont generate a list sequential numbers and ask their staff to waste time and ring N/A numbers which inevitably cost both money and time.

        Customer data nowadays is worth more than anything, it is used for unsolicited marketing approaches such as participating in surveys, raffles, donations, etc.

        Most websites/phone apps that capture your details have a disclaimer somewhere which states that they may at times use your personal information, and/or provide it to a 3rd party for marketing purposes and to better their product. These websites are typically "free service" websites, because nothing is really for free.

        You belong in a naive sheep flock, go back there and graze peacefully on some grass whilst being oblivious to the world around you,

        • donga100 on 13/10/2016 - 13:39

          Staff don't call the numbers. They have a computer call the numbers and the staff only call the people who answered. This is why you often get spam numbers call you and immediately hang up after you answer.

        • llama on 13/10/2016 - 23:56

          You must be living in a cabbage patch.

          LOL, you reckon?

          NO, marketing agencies dont generate a list sequential numbers and ask their staff to waste time and ring N/A numbers

          No they don't. As donga100 says above, a computer sequences through phone numbers sequentially, and if somebody answers the call is directed to the next available operator.

          You belong in a naive sheep flock, go back there and graze peacefully on some grass whilst being oblivious to the world around you,

          As donga100 says above, a computer sequences through phone numbers sequentially, and if somebody answers the call is directed to the next available operator.

          You've missed the point and focused on the process, my main point was that any website that offers a free service which also requires your mobile number is generally reimbursed by selling your active mobile to a 3rd party.

          This concept happens at many levels;
          1.) Simple "free service" websites (e.g the deal posted here)
          2.) Sites which offers competition entries, prizes, etc
          3.) Phone apps that require "access to your contacts", like a GPS, Radio App, WhatsApp, etc

          What's definite though, is that there's no such thing as telemarketers, raffle places, charity, scams and so forth all having super computers that dial numbers starting from 0400 000 000, it's targeted.

  • theredkrawler on 13/10/2016 - 09:43

    I have a website which puts received texts online. I suspect you're going to have a bad time allowing people to send spoofed SMS. I've already had at least 3 dealings with police (1 federal, ooh), and a fistful of legal demands made and that's only receiving messages, and censoring phone numbers (among a heap of other things).

    Good luck mate, honestly.

    • peterpeterpumpkin on 13/10/2016 - 09:46

      Someone could have used this service to send fake confirmation codes to your service.

        +1

        Part of the fun(??) is constantly tweaking the spam detection, blacklist and censorship to try and avoid stuff like that.

        Spoofing SMS is easy for anyone to do, but providing a platform to do it on other's behalf seems risky to me. When someone spoofs an SMS from "ThePolice" the person sending it is taking the risk of getting busted. When you send a spoofed SMS from "ThePolice" on someone elses behalf, you're basically taking the risk for them.

        It will only take one person spoofing an SMS from a terrorist group to a Government employee (or business, heck even a personal line really) and OP will be in for a world of hurt.
