Many refugees in the world don't have smartphones nor do they have regular access to internet, particularly when they live in developing countries. Yet communications is essential to their security and livelihoods and can greatly facilitate self organisation.
SMS'Up is a What's App with SMS. It provides a low cost, simple, offline group messaging service. We wanted to create an easy way for refugees to self-organise, create a group and communicate with each other with a simple SMS. ​

  • Safe, secure and simple to use
  • Standard SMS rate apply, no additional charges​

​How it works?

  • Send « new techfugees » to 1234
  • Receive confirmation that the new SMS group « techfugees » is created 
  • Others can subscribe to SMS group by sending « subscribe techfugees » to 1234 
  • Group creator can message group by sending « send techfugees [important message ] » to 1234
