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

FrontlineSMS in the Philippines

My project is about providing free consultations to indigent patients in the Philippines. 6-8 free consultations are being done in 4 areas in Pampanga. FrontlineSMS is my frontline in informing patients about their scheduled consultations. Our country uses SMS and this is our way of life here. Im glad this technology empowers everyone.

My wife and I loved your video and want to help your mission using our community internet Cafe's so let us know how we can help you do more?

Yes you can contact me through my email lynman3@yahoo.com
My knowledge can be of great help to you. I hope you have already your frontlines sms. Nokia is my phone of choice. There are tons of compatible nokia phones. Now Im using 6108 a little expensive. I suggest you create a dedicated computer for your project so that the interaction to your members is very easy like you are having your own smart or globe network.

Comment by Nick on April 25, 2009 at 9:32pm: Lynman, Filipino Voices (filipinovoices.com) is currently looking into FrontlineSMS as a means for a citizen journalism project.. is there a way to contact you, because we would like to learn more on how you are implementing it, as well as how we can utilize what you learned to help in our goal..

Im using neo x-plore x1.1 that runs ong intel celeron 900mhz processor with 512 RAM.
This notebook cost around 250 dollars approx.. This is what Im using especially in keeping my patient file as well as in sending bulk messaging to patient with frontlinesms. This is also light too however the downsize of this laptop the keyboard is very small and I always got some mistakes in typing data.

Comment by Ben Whitaker on January 22, 2009 at 1:42pm: Hi Lynman,

which laptop are you using there?
(always interesting to hear which sub-notebooks are compatible)

actually I have a video of several patients doing the \o/ signs. i told them that this is the symbol of our software I am using so I can send text message in bulk.
But unfortunately I failed to press record. Luckily Ive got one close patient who do the signs with gusto.

Before frontlineSMS Im using the old ways... I text them one by one and so my fingers hurts and thats the start of necessity and I stumble this foundation and that makes my life so easy. No more sore thumbs eh!

Comment by kiwanja on January 22, 2009 at 7:28am: Thanks for sharing this with us, Lynman. And I love the end - does the patient know what \o/ means? =)
