SimInfo

What's up?

SimInfo was a free Windows Phone 8 application that let you manage your carrier offer in a simply and easy way.

It was working with following network operators:

  • Wind
  • Vodafone
  • Tim
  • H3G
  • Coop Voce
  • Tiscali Mobile
  • Noverca
  • Fastweb Mobile

It was able to monitor costantly your carrier data and, using push notification, notice you when you were under limits using a Toast message. It was localised in both Italian and English, and Spanish was planned.

But I can't find it on the store!

After more or less 2 years of working, Italian carriers started to block my requestes (I was using AppHarbor for hosting). As a workaround, I tried to route all the traffic using TOR but, given that public final IPs are public it was easy to block me again after 2-3 weeks.

As final attemp, I moved all the logic back to the client itself (push notification feature was closed) but then suddenly (I am really wondering how, after two years), Microsoft noticed me that the approved application was rejected, and thous, removed.

Given that I can't work on it anymore (for now), I decided to release the sources. I would love to rework on this again, perhaps in a cross platform way (react-native or ionic), but I can't make any plan now.

  • Some build notes are on my blog, but nothing really useful to be honest.
  • Basically the thing is organised in two directories: the client resides in WindInfo, the server is in WindAuth
  • Carrier specific code are located in Code directory. Those may actually be totally outdated.

Disclaimer

  • We're not the code we write. This is quite old stuff and the overall thing is a bit shitty. but still, it was a valuable product for really a lot of people.
  • It started as an experiment to solve my father's problem, and then evolved to be a killing application.
