FrontlineSMS allows you to text message with large groups of people anywhere there is a mobile signal.

Testing FronlineSMS 1.6.17-RC1

Dear FLSMS team,

Thanks again for this release candidate. All the previous issues I raised (duplicate messages, glitches in the message history etc) seem to have been fully fixed. At the moment it's operating very smoothly - great job!

One small thing I noticed is that there seems to be a little bit of inconsistency in the notifications given for sent messages;

I attempted to send a message from frontline, whilst having no credit on the modem's SIM and as expected, on clicking 'send' the message is shown as "pending" and then as "failed. But in a few cases I've sent in a keyword msg that activated an automatic reply, and despite the fact that the SIM has no credit on it (and is therefore unable to actually send the automatic message), it shows the message as being "sent". As with the manual send, ideally it should show the message as "pending" and then as "failed".

I raise this point because when it comes to looking at records of sent messages, this would mean there's a chance the users are getting an incorrect idea of how many texters really have received an automatic reply.

Will let you know if I come across anything else.

Thanks for your fantastic work.

Kate

Hi Kate,

Thanks for posting. Really pleased to hear that previous issues are all fixed, so credit to Alex for solving these problems! \o/

Just wanted to let you know that I have passed your follow up question on to Alex / developer team, but it may just take a day or so for us to get back to you, because there are various public holidays effecting work flow at moment. We will get back to you asap, though!

All the Best,

Florence
