Dear Eric,

There are two things to note. The SMS Gateway that you set in DHIS2 is for
any outbound text messaging. The URL Template should be based on your SMS
service provider's template. This will allow you to forward SMS messages
from DHIS2 to the SMS service provider that will handle the delivery of the
messages.

*URL TEMPLATE IS FROM the SMS Provider*

On the other hands, you should also configure a URL from the SMS service
providers to forward ALL messages probably using a keyword to a DHIS2
instance. The latest version of DHIS2 2.28 has recently changed its SMS
API that will receive and process SMSes as below.

http://DHIS2_DOMAIN_URL/api/sms/inbound?message=[TEXT MESSAGE]&originator=[
<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fdhis.mets.or.ug%2Fapi%2Fsms%2Finbound%3Fmessage%3DPmtct%2Ba.43.b.36.c.2.d.7.e.3.f.7.g.2.h.y.I.y%26originator%3D256785411060&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNHqphroUPT_Uwy8CViLII5Uf8_QPg>PHONE
NUMBER]

If you need an SMS service provider, I can help set up for you BUT you will
be required to pay for the SMSes. [We can discuss more]

Regards
