Re: [Dhis2-devs] SMS/Mobile configuration

 

Dear Samuel

I am on 2.28 and I just set up the SMS configuration and gateway by
following the steps that you laid out in your descriptive email. I used
Clickatell also and have the + and country code included into the number. I
used my Clickatell username (not the email address). The clickatell
username for me was all lower case (despite initially entering it into
their system as uppercase). I am not sure if that may be an issue, but as
mentioned, I have managed to set up the SMS function from scratch using
what you supplied.

One thing you may check is whether your in your "User settings" in your
profile, you are over-riding the system settings for "Enabling message SMS
notifications".

Kind regards,
Terence
