This is a great project -- I was recently in Swaziland and this type of program would do wonders!
yup, I absolutely agree - I hope the SMS platform you guys use is industrial-strength too! It would be very interesting to know what your delivery success % is Vs failed deliveries % is too in each country.
love the idea - watch this space I think frontlineSMS is onto something here
