What could prevent the programme (v 1.6.163) to receive forms (with data) suddenly when it was receiving them fine earlier? Is there such thing as the system becoming clogged with too many messages, or by too many handsets sending reports?…"

Glad to hear that information was helpful.

Ferdinand Strobel replied to Ferdinand Strobel's discussion using sms forms between two laptops?"Thanks Florence this is helpful. I happened to learn that the field offices actually do not have computers so the setup will just be phones in the field and one single computer in the head office.

I may ask a stupid question but hey here I go: is it possible to use the forms application between two laptop units equipped with GSM modems. For example in a set up where you have a field office that receives forms (data) from mobile phones in the field, compile them and do quality check and then needs to send a summary report to the head office? Thanks for any tips. FerdinandSee More

want to visit a health project using \o/ in Asia Pacific
Hi,I am based in the pacific and interested to visit projects using \o/ in the field of health in the Philippines or elsewhere in Asia Pacific (not too distant from Fiji).

Is that possible. Can you give me some contacts? most appreciated.Best…See More

I am actually in Timor Leste now, but yes we did have success with FrontlineSMS but only after we gave up the attempts to use a phone and found a Huawei modem instead. I don't know of anyone who has had any luck with phones. And FrontlineSMS do not recommend their use any more. We use modems here as well. If you go to WSB talk to Jennifer or Rex about it. I believe Siula left recently. Cheers and good luck. John
