Why Short Messaging Service
A way to extend communication between XO and mobile phone devices that does not have GPRS capability i.e. the only way possible to communicate with them is through text messages/voice calls.
It can be used as an information medium and for communication with others (e.g. Parents).
How does it work?
The idea is to interface a modem/GSM AT compliant mobile phone with the School server. It hosts a SMS Gateway which can be accessed by XO through web browser.
SMS Server Tools are used for communicating with the phone and PlaySMS is used for hosting SMS Gateway on the school server.
Note: I have not hosted on actual school server.
