I have downloaded  Frontline SMS Alpha but its not loading, am failing to use it.Ever since it only say please wait loading and it ends there.Hope ur ok.

Thanks, Amy! 

Amy,

Given that our station is in the US and we have good Internet connectivity at the station itself, even though many of our listeners do not, can we use FrontlineSMS with an Internet to SMS service? I realize we are not the typical Frontline user, but I come from a developing country radio background, so tend to look at solutions I know of from that world, like FrontlineSMS. But, the cost of buying a GSM modem and setting up service with a GSM provider just for text messages it huge here. US mobile providers consider SMS an add-on service and they charge dearly for it.

Amy,

Yes, I did see that you are working on FrontlineSMS:Radio. We are very interested to see where this goes. We are not currently doing anything with SMS, it is something we want to develop, and FrontlineSMS seems like the tool to help us to do that. We will be very interested to read about how other radio stations are making use of this great tool, and then seeing how we can adapt those uses to our situation.

Ahsante Amy,

I am working with the National Broadcaster  and some community radio stations using frontline SMS on agriculture extension. Mainly we focus on getting feedback from program aired where farmers ask questions. We also send short messages to selected farmers on agriculture practices.

Farmers have been able to ask questions which we provide real time feedback. In addition we provide agriculture tips to the farmers on the best practices on selected topics.

Hi,

I work in Search for Common Ground Rwanda as Design Montitoring and Evaluation Coordinator. In Search for Common Ground we have a lot of project and we are working with radio stations. We support radio stations by strengthening the journalists. Now we have a regional project (Rwanda, Burundi and DRC) supporting trading for peace in greate lakes. to implement this project we have radio programs broadcasted through different radios in Rwanda Burundi and DRC and we are need to use Frontline SMS to collect feedback  from listeners to those radio programs.

Broadcasting, considering SMS via PC to Mobile phone, or mobile phone to mobile phone, but for in my case, i  considering SMS from PC or Web application to mobile phone, tapping the  social responsibility of most IPs, GSM and CDMA service provider, encouraging them to increase concern in most under privilege sector of the population.  Broadcasting means to propagate from a medium to media.
