Best practices for SMS form coding

Hello folks.

We are designing a coded-SMS component for ELMO (our aggregator) such that
folks with super basic phones can text in data by composing a specially
coded SMS, guided by a template generated by ELMO and printed out on paper.

I know other projects/systems have attempted this approach and I'm looking
for any documentation of lessons learned or best practices. I can't quite
remember where I've seen this stuff but I know I've seen it.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Tom

Tom,

RapidSMS has some XForms hooks that Nyaruka (http://nyaruka.com/)
built. You can find their code at
https://github.com/nyaruka/rapidsms-xforms#readme and I'm sure Nic
Pottier and his team would be glad to answer questions you had.
