 Thanks Rahul,
 
 Hi Nivedita,
 
 You can not only use SMS but voice and Ivr too to collect the data.

 Check these 2 posts out that will give you a better example. I'll ask my team 
 to follow up and help you further. Also just goto www.exotel.in and create a 
 free trial account where you will get 50rs. To test out SMS and voice based 
 data collection methods. Once you create a free trial account am sure someone 
 from the team will help you out.
 
 Thanks
 Vijay
 
 Sent on the go.

 If you want to be able to receive and send large amounts of calls and SMSes 
 (i.e. in the lakhs) in very short periods of time (like a few hours) then 
 you will need to use a provider like exotel or zipdial, otherwise the rest 
 of the options are good..

 You can use any of the numerous SMS Services Providers to buy a Longcode 
 number (a 10-digit number people can send SMS to). Can cost between Rs. 
 500/- to Rs. 1000/- per month (and quite less than that of that if bought 
 for longer duration). These services can send the data to your web server 
 when an SMS is received, among other things.
 
 Check SMSLane (http://longcode.smslane.com/) or mVaayoo 
 (http://www.mvaayoo.com) -- I have used them both as a customer.
 
 Best,

 Hello everyone!
 
 Does anyone here have experience with crowdsourcing data via SMS? We're 
 trying to collect some data about Solid Waste Management in Bangalore 
 through citizen volunteers sending data via SMS. So I wanted to know the 
 cost of getting service providers (Airtel/Vodafone etc.) to set up a number 
 specifically for this project which will roughly see about 100 SMSes per 
 week.
 
 Any help is appreciated, do feel free to get in touch with me at 
 vak...@gmail.com. 
 
 Best,
 Nivedita

 Hi All,
 We need group's help to spread information about ODC to the following 
 institutions (of course not limited). I think there will be a group of people 
 interested but wouldn't know about it
 
 -- ISI - indian statistical institute, Bangalore
 -- IISc 
 -- IITB
 -- NID
 -- Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology
 -- Any other institute that you think of
 -- Any other NGOs
 
 Please spread a word. You can probably use the note below by Nisha.
 
 Let me know if you need any help regarding this.
 
 Thanks,

 I would like to invite you all to the 2013 Bangalore Open DataCamp that will 
 be held on March 2nd and 3rd.  This event is dedicated to discussing and 
 exploring Open Data in India and the many people and projects that use data.
 
 I will also like to ask for your formal participation for the Hackathon on 
 the 3rd. We will like to say this hackathon will be using data available on 
 data.gov.in and start stalking about what those outputs might be. 
 
 http://odc.datameet.org/odcblr2013/
 
 Last year we had 150 people come and participate and had presentations from 
 various places from UID to governance to education, all using data to attack 
 a particular problem.
 I would like to ask you or your team to come and participate if possible it 
 will be a great event.
