Frontline using Smart (Buddy and Bro Dongle)

I'm currently on the testing phase. I intend to use Flsms in sending updates on feed, hog and broiler price to farmers in Calabarzon who are members of our Coop. I tried using a borrowed Sony Ericsson which worked but I have to return it. I tried Flsms with my phones (Nokia 3120 Classic + bluetooth and Motorola W156 + wire) but these were not detected. So I bought a Smartbro dongle (Huawei E156c) for $42 and a special SIM (+62-908-XXX-2222) for $5.21 which I'm now using. As the dongle's purpos… Continue

Update on using FrontlineSMS to help victims of domestic violence

In late May of this year, I assisted a local crisis center in deploying a solution we've now dubbed "FamilyFIRST". FamilyFIRST is an SMS based system that allows victims of domestic violence to reach out to police, crisis counselors, and to document abuse incidents all via simple SMS messaging. When the project first began, neither I nor the agency involved were sure how it would be received or if it would even be used. Educating victims to think proactively in crisis situation is a difficult t… Continue

Using FrontlineSMS to Send in Hindi

Hi FrontlineSMS Community! FrontlineSMS now supports Hindi, but when you use the Hindi that is installed on your computer (Computer Panel > Regional and Language Options > Hindi), you need to learn a whole new keyboard map to type. You can find the map just by doing a google search, and it looks something like: http://tinyurl.com/hindi-keyboard-map For example, to write "pooja" in Hindi, you would have to press the keys "h-t-p-e." Learning this whole new set of keys is probably difficul… Continue

How FrontlineSMS will help domestic violence victims in the USA.

I only recently became involved with FrontlineSMS as an addition to a national project my company, OpenEMR HQ, is doing with a small African country.

Today, I want to share one of those ideas and how we're going to use FrontlineSMS as a tool to help combat violence against w… Continue
