FAQ and Knowledgebase - SMS Broadcast

1.0 I have problems sending SMS messages using SMS Broadcast?

A: Some devices have the built in firewall activated which will stop any third party applications from sending any SMS’es.

When the SMS Broadcast first starts and when sending your first SMS you may be prompted with a dialog box which says

-----------------------------

“ The application SMS Broadcast has requested a SMS Connection to 12345678

Don’t ask this again

  • For All SMS Connections
  • SMS Connections to 12345678

 

Allow this connection

Deny this Connection

Select the choice

-" For All SMS Connections"

And click the
“Allow this connection” button
Next  in some cases you may again be prompted with another dialog

“ Do you want to allow the application SMS Broadcast to act as a Server”

Don’t ask this again

  • For All SMS_Send Connections

 

Allow this connection

Deny this Connection

Select the choice

- "For All SMS_Send Connections"

And click the

“Allow this connection” button

And that’s it you should now be able to send and manage your SMS broadcast groups using the SMS Broad cast application.

2.0 Can I use the SMS Broadcast on Nextel networks?.

A: No the SMS Broadcast is designed to be used on GSM networks. Nextel uses the iden network technology which is not compatible with the SMS Broadcast code. a Nextel version is due for release shortly.

3.0 When searching for a name on the address list the software seems to hangs or become unbearably slow?

A:Yes we are aware that on the 870x device that special charecters are not transmitted correctly and are investigating the issue.
