Cannot Send out SMS through Ushahidi - "unable to send sms, perhaps insufficent air time" about smssync

[eyedol]

@Nhorning are you able to send out SMS via the admin/messages ? Like can you reply to a received message in the Ushahidi platform?

[Nhorning]

I just tested, and I can send a reply with no issues.

hmm.. funky with the mobile alert feature. Perhaps it doesn't pass along the number to send the SMS to. @kamaulynder What could be the issue? It seems SMSSync can send SMSs

Will have to do some debugging, looking into this.

I just received an alert from my test report after adding the country code to the number of an alert that I was just able to create through the online form (now that the sign up bug has been resolved). The time stamps say it took about 2 hours to go through, but it seemed like a much less of a delay to me. I'll have a chance to test this more thoroughly tomorrow.

Alright, I just signed up for a mobile alert as a test (including the country code) and got a confirmation message nearly immediately. I think at this point it's safe to assume it's working as long as the country code (977) is used in the number. I'll make sure that's the case tomorrow, and include instructions on my sign up page. Thanks!

@Nhorning Glad to hear it's working for you. Keep us posted in your findings
