Early warning sms
South African school kids aren't going to be able to get away with school trouble for long, thanks to a new service that makes communication between schools and parents easy. smsweb offers a way for schools to notify parents of any relevant news. There are already about 250 schools across the country that are using the service. As most school letters advising parents of school problems seem to evaporate into thin air, this service sends messages directly from the school via SMS to the parent's cellphone.
