Deadline SMS support (plus Fluid and Ubiquity!)

02 Jan 2009 | By Alex Young | Tags deadline sms announcements

Deadline now supports SMS (text messages). The feature is currently available as a trial while we estimate costs. To get on the trial, see the SMS page in Deadline Settings for more details.

Notes on Deadline’s SMS support

  • The trial is free, but SMS support will be a paid feature in the future. This is because sending an SMS costs money and Deadline is currently a free service. We may subsidise SMS using context-sensitive adverts in the future.
  • Two-way SMS may be available in the future, we’re still looking into costs and international support issues.
  • You’re currently limited to 10 messages a day. This number may change depending on popularity and costs.

Other improvements in this upgrade

  • Deadline now supports Fluid
  • Deadline now supports Mozilla Ubiquity
  • Setting “Remember me” during login should always work now
  • The settings page has been tidied up, with some secondary navigation to help you find things
  • We fixed a bug in Jabber
