>Is it for people with phones who can sms but aren't able to get on the internet? That's correct. There are millions, perhaps billions of these, especially in developing regions. They don't own computers or modern phones, but they do have simple cellphones with SMS capability. From the developer's side, deploying an SMS based service - esp in places with no TextMarks etc support - is significantly harder than just launching a website. You need to either get access to the cell provider's SMS gateway (often requires money/connections) or set up your own cell modem/phone connected to a server running SMS gateway software (non trivial - NGOs sometimes fly devs in just to set it up). This project allows you to replace all this with just an Android phone with this app installed. Well, hopefully. Haven't been field tested yet... If anyone wants to beta test this on some non-mission critical SMS app I'd love to work with you.
