Solution Overview & Benefits

FrontlineSMS is a desktop software created to lower barriers to positive social change using mobile technology.

By leveraging basic tools already available to most organizations, including those in ‘last-mile’ settings — computers and low-cost modems — FrontlineSMS enables instantaneous two-way communication to any mobile handset.

It’s easy to implement, simple to operate, and best of all, the software is free; you only pay for the messages you send.

This award-winning open-source software has been downloaded over 150,000 times since its first prototype in 2005, and helps organizations all over the world overcome communications barriers.

History & Development

The software was originally developed in 2005 by Ken Banks for conservationists to keep in touch with communities in Kruger National Park in South Africa.

The 2.0 release is a deep redesign and is the first version to install a browser-based interface to the Java FrontlineSMS backend.
