Stephen - can you describe your XMPP solution? Do you use a unique prefix to
the message?
We've done a lot of SMS session management work and found from users that
it's easier just to send the messages/posts. Our target market (soccer moms
and hockey dads) find it hard to remember things like "post [group] [code]
[message]" especially when the unique code goes away when you hit the reply
button on the handset.
For RSVP type data (event rsvp, poll, sign-up sheet) we use a couple of
tricks. If there are two or more outstanding requests for replies, we'll
send a text message back that ask for more information. Example:
Reply "y l" or "n l" for Lunch. Reply "y tm" or "n tm" for Team Meeting"
We also rely on the age of the request (has the event date already passed).
