Sending Applications to the Phones

This section shows how to send the applications to the mobile phones and describes how to install the app on the phone.

From the list of phone numbers from the PHONES option (Within the DEFINE SECTION) check the box(es) next to the appropriate phone records that you widh to send the app to.

Press the SEND button and a few seconds later the chosen phones should receive either a standard SMS message or a Service message, containing a link to download the application.

The process for installing an application now varies depending on the phone model – simply follow the instructions presented when you open the URL.

If the SMS/Service message does not appear, please check that the phones date, time and especially GMT Timezone are correct and then try again, noting if the Sent Counter field on the phones list is incremented by 1 after Sending. If it does increment, that indicates Solo has successfully delivered the message to the Network Operator, and it is their responsibility now to route it to the phone.

Alternative sending/installation methods

The SMS/Service message simply delivers a link to a URL that contains the address of the app for downloading. This URL can be used to download the app to many other phones without having to SEND from the Solo back-office:

Just forward the first SMS to another phone or phones.

Type the URL manually into a phones web-browser

Write the URL to a tag, and then touch it with other NFC phones to go there (ask your Solo representative for further info on creating installation tags)
