FrontlineSMS is the first text messaging system to be conceived, designed and written firmly with the needs of the non-profit sector in mind. Until now, the majority of systems have not taken into account the nature of non-profit work, and the specific conditions (financial and physical) which many work under. The FrontlineSMS software is provided free to charities and other non-profit organisations. The software can be downloaded from the Download menu but requires activation before messages can be sent or received. Details on how to obtain activation codes are provided.
