Hi Anthony,
I copied the list, as this information is useful for others. I substituted usernames and passwords with ***.
You will need to develop a proxy for the incoming messages, as these will need to be on the format specified below. Alternatively you can ask the SMS gateway to deliver messages on our format. Basic Auth is documented here:http://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/implementer/html/ch08s03.html#d5e610 
For the outgoing messages, do the following:

1. Go to "Mobile Configuration"->"SMS Service Configuration"
2. Click "Add Gateway"
3. Select "Generic HTTP Gateway".
4. Write a name for the gateway
5. Fill in username and password
6. Write the following in the URL string:
https://api.smsgh.com/v3/messages/send?From=<your incoming number>&To={recipient}&Content={message}&ClientId=<username>&ClientSecret=<password>
Substitute everything in <> with your information. Words in {} are DHIS2 variables and should be left alone. 

7. Save the gateway
8. Set your new gateway as default
9. You should now be able to send SMS
Note that you can only configure for one sending shortcode, so you cannot differentiate between the shortcodes for various operators, as we have no way of knowing who is on which operator.

Hi Anthony,
What is the interface to the gateway? I'm assuming HTTP? If you can give me the template for outgoing (MT) messages I will be able to guide you through that.
On the incoming (MO) side, the SMS Gateway provider will have to call your server on the following url:<DHIS2url>/sms/smsinput.action?sender=<sender>&message=<complete_message> <https://hmis.dhis.co.zm/test/sms/smsinput.action?sender=1234567&message=text>
They will have to implement HTTP Basic Authentication with a registered username/password, and send this in the header.
You should be aware that on 2.14, the server will return 200 OK even if the message is on an incorrect format, which may slow down debugging. This is fixed in 2.15.

    Hi Anthony,

    It would help us greatly if you could provide the following
    information:

    1. What is the use case? Are you collecting aggregate data?
    Which parser are you using?

    2. What kind of gateway are you using? Are you using an
    aggregator, the Android SMS gateway or another gateway?

    3. Where do you meet the problems? What are you doing when
    the problem arises and what does it look like? Which error
    messages are you getting?

    Hi Anthony,

    Good to hear that you have moved forward on this.

    May I ask what version and build of DHIS 2 you are using
    (look it up in Profile->About DHIS 2)?

    Could you please also elaborate a little bit on what your
    problem is?
    What steps have you taken, what errors or problems are you
    encountering?

        Ok, I assume these are aggregated values, as in number
        of cases of XXX?

        If so, I suggest you start by reading section 25.4 in
        the user documentation :

        http://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch24s05.html

        And come back to this list if you have any questions.

            Can you please elaborate a little on what aspects
            of SMS you want to make use of?

            SMS is used for many things in DHIS 2, e.g. for
            data entry as well as many different types of
            notifications and other outgoing messages.

            What do you want to achieve with SMS?
