rachol, it has just send me 3 sms without activating-sms(((
I'm 99% sure, that it happened because of sliding keyboard (my phone was on the table with closed keyboard for 1 hour - and no sms was sent, now I opened keyboard and send sms to my friend, sms with GPS-coordinates started to come)

I'm using the latest build.

Sorry for my English((

For testing purposes maybe simulation mode would be good.
Like write a SMS text message to /tmp/iamhere_test_SMS.txt, and then tell iamhere to treat it like it came from network as a real SMS.

rachol, the same thing!
What I did:
1) uninstalled program, installed the latest build
2) rebooted
3) opened keyboard - nothing happend
4) wrote sms to my friend and sent it, got delivery-confirmation
5) at this moment (I think, it is at the moment of sms-confirmation) GPS starts, phone asks for access-point and sms with GPS comes.

Please, fix it!

P.S.: activation text is very unusual, so it is not possible, that it is the same as confirmation.

I haven't tried this app yet (my N900 is still being shipped :)), but it sounds awesome. I think you should try to add wifi positioning in the event you can't get a GPS fix. Skyhook is one company that provides the service, and I know Firefox will use wifi to determine position on a laptop if a website asks for it. Basically, the devices compares the available wifi networks in the area to a database, and can usually get a position within 200yards. By no means perfect, but better than nothing!

rachol, disabled delivery-confirmation - nothing sends, all work correct.
