Log in to http://apps.dhis2.org/dev/ with admin/district
Create a user sms/SMStest1 with user role "Data Entry Clerk" and assigned to Sierra Leone > Bo > Baoma > Baoma Station CHP
Very important: Add the full mobile number of ANOTHER phone (not your Android), including country code, e.g. like this 4791880522 (including country code but no +)
Go to Maintenance > Mobile Configuration > SMS commands. You will see that one dataset is already defined, Mortality:

Now on your Android phone, install the DHIS2 SMS Gateway and open it

DHIS2 username: admin
DHIS2 password: district
Commands:		mortality (not case sensitive)

Forward messages should be green
Click Save

Now send the following message from the OTHER mobile TO your Android:

You can check that it was received in two places:
