I am using Conversations with my family and friends on a prosody server I put on a kimsufi server. It works like a charm, and we don't have all super awesome android phones (but I have to agree, nobody has an S40. Do they even exist anymore?).
I think your experience is outdated and not correct anymore.
- Veratyr 10y ago> Do they even exist anymore? Maybe not S40 exactly but there are still plenty of "dumb" phones. It was only 3 years ago that smartphones started to outsell dumb phones [0]. In America, there are still ~24 million "dumb" phone shipped each year [1]. They are still around, people do still use them.

- codedokode 10y agoI have a "dumb" phone but I don't expect it to be able to run a XMPP client. Even if it could, it's screen is too small and there are only numeric keys.
- rakoo 10y agoAnd yet you can send SMS with a dumb phone; why wouldn't be able to at least send such simple messages with XMPP or any messaging client ?
