Dear all,
Pls advise how we can activate the SMS service in DHIS2…we only have two telcos in the Philippines…
Or should we get an international SMS gateway? If yes, any recommendations?

We use Clickatell in Zambia and it works fine. I think others have used BulkSMS. In Nigieria, I configured the service with a local SMS provider which was much cheaper for local SMSes with Clickatell. You will just need to find a SMS provider which can communicate with one of the drivers (which are standard) used by DHIS2.
So, if cost is a big issue, you may need to find a local provider. I doubt if the telcos offer such a service, but they might. Normally, third-party companies will offer such services, but you may have to search on the net a bit to find one.
Regards,
Jason

The gate way is important as the number of the push and pull SMSs that are send will be many so it will be important to look for an SMS gate way.

You can connect directly to operators using smpp, but probably less work with an sms gateway company. In philippines there should local companies that can help be a gateway so you do not have to connect directly to each operator.
Which sms functions are you looking for? Java client reporting, reports sent by sms directly from the user, or outgoing messages, alerts etc.
Unfortunately we do not havean sms implementation guide yet, but will work on one. In the meantime, we will try to respond via emsil.
