outgoing SMS over local modem - anyone using it?

Support - Assistance technique
1

Hi all,

we are rewriting much of the functionality for sending outgoing SMS in DHIS 2. In that regard we were wondering if anyone is using the current function for sending SMS using a local SMS modem / gateway?

In production setups one should in any case use a network-based SMS gateway provided by an external operator (bulksms, clickatell).

The library we use (smslib) is deprected as well. We were thinking to end support for local SMS modems in 2.23.

regards,

Lars

Dear Lars,

We are in the planning stage to use sms features in DHIS2 to collect Malaria case base data. I will like to know if DHIS2 has the ability to do this for us.

At the planning stage, what will be the best advice for us in term of hardware and software requirement issues.

I will be happy to hear from any body with similar experience.

Regard,

Thanks Guy. We will have a developer reach out to you.

Since nobody have reported to be using the local SMS gateway modem, we will remove it for version 2.23.

Lars

Dear Guy,

You need to set a SMS command for the system to route the SMS to the right place.

see http://dhis2.github.io/dhis2-docs/master/en/user/html/dhis2_user_manual_en_full.html#mobile_sms_command
