faktmobile-kody

Retrieve and send Fakt Mobile (4-5 letter/number) codes automatically for benefits (additional minutes, SMS and internet) via SMS to 4949 from a Polish forum

Dependencies

• python3
• selenium (using Firefox)
• termux (or a fork, and termux api)

Installation & usage

1. Firstly, download Termux, or some fork of it, launch and configure it
2. Download the Termux:API app, and configure it to enable the ability for SMS to be sent from Termux
3. In Termux, download dependencies with: pkg install termux-api python git
4. Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/netman134/faktmobile-kody

Below further unfinished instructions:

5. Create a virtual python environment (recommended, but not required): python -m venv venv and source into it source venv/bin/activate (or when using fish/csh, add .fish/.csh at the end)
6. Install python script dependencies: pip install selenium termux
7. Configure working to your liking in config.py:
   • link - if it changes, or something (str)
   • num_of_latest_codes - to be fetched and sent (int)
   • sms_send_timeout - between individual sms codes being sent (int)
   • (todo) sim - for single-sim phones: 0/1, for dual-sim check: 0/1/2 (str, most important)
   • show_toasts - on start and end (bool)
   • vibrate_at_end (bool)
   • pc_debug_no_termux - disable termux api for debugging on pc and print retrieved codes (bool)
8. (todo+venv) Setup automatic run every day/hour using cron or similar tools
9. Archive the 4949 number in the messaging app to not get notifications from 4949 and sent messages every day/hour at the top of the messages app (recommended)

Why?

Fakt Mobile offers a package for 3 PLN, which offers 50 minutes of calls, 50 SMS messages, and 250MB of internet (+ some little EU roaming) - with this little tool I can even extend that package to 90 minutes, 90 SMS and 450MB of local data

Just (almost exclusively, with some little exceptions of course) pay only for what you really use.

Regex. (and code)

This regex just works. I scoured through all the messages on the forum to try to match my regex to every message and I know it's very much over-complicated (for such use case, and most of today's codes posted are just 4 letters posted in similar manner), but it works. Don't dig into that, I know it's a non-readable pile of garbage.

Apart from that I tried making this little code to be as readable as it could be, and I think I achieved that pretty well :)
