FUN BILLBOARD DEMO USER MANUAL

You want to send a private message from your phone to the person whose nickname is

Ann – you saw her messages on the big screen with this nickname and now you want to

send her a private message.

The correct format of your text message should be:

*Ann I want to buy you a beer

The Fun Billboard would receive your message and forward it to the phone number

registered in the system under the nickname ANN. Your phone number or nickname (if

registered in the system) will also be forwarded to Ann. Your message will not be visible

to the public.

If the user don’t register any specific nickname in the system the system will

automatically assign the generic nickname Guest followed by the sequential number

(Guest1, Guest2,..)

Using variables, the administrator can format the beginning of the private message which

will be forwarded to recipient. This way, the recipient of the message will find out who

was the sender of the message. The variables have the following meaning:

#phone# - The variable will be replaced with the sender’s phone number

#name# - The variable will be replaced with the sender’s first and last name

#nick# - The variable will be replaced with the sender’s sender nick (alias)

#nickorphone# - If nick exists, the variable will be replaced with the sender’s nick.

Otherwise the variable will be replaced with the sender’s phone number.

#nameorphone# - If first or last name exists, the variable will be replaced with the

sender’s name. Otherwise the variable will be replaced with the sender’s phone number.

ATTENTION: Enabling the „private messages” function might incur additional costs on

the SIM card, especially if “private messaging” becomes popular among the audience.

Private messages are forwarded to recipient using the credit of the SIM card.

7.2.4.Changing password

In the bottom part of the “Moderator settings” window (Fig. 13) there is a Change

password button. It allows the Moderator to enable/disable or change a password

protection of the „Admin console”. If the password protection is enabled the

Administrator will be prompted to enter the correct password every time he starts the

„Admin console” application. Leave those fields blank if you don’t want to protect the

system with password.
