Cambridge-based ICT consultancy kiwanja.net have just announced the beginning of field trials for their new “SMS Hub in a Box” system. FrontlineSMS provides full text messaging management from a Windows desktop application via a mobile phone, removing the need for the user to be anywhere near an internet connection.
Almost all existing commercial SMS applications tie the user to the web, and require bulk purchase of messages. FrontlineSMS requires neither, and meets kiwanja.net’s key objective of removing the barriers to entry to ICT for global conservation and development organisations.
