  Not sure why you are downvoted, but I'm wondering too why anyone would use this costly method instead of, say, SimpleNote.

    You have an old "feature phone" (old Nokia phones, for example) that can still text just fine, but not run more modern apps. This is a perfect application for that.

    In short: the southern hemisphere. SMS is the internet of africa, among other places. Maybe that wasn't the driving force behind the development, but its certainly a potential use.

      The majority of Africa's land area and population are in the Northern Hemisphere.

        .. in fact, almost the entire land area of the planet is in the NH. Except Australia (mostly uninhabited) and Antarctica (nearly completely uninhabited).

    He is probably downvoted because of the somewhat condescending tone. As for your question, I normally use PlainText. I type in something on my phone and when I turn on my computer later, dropbox announces that transfer.txt has been updated which is a perfect reminder. This works fine except when I am offline (I travel a lot and often don't have data). Now, I could turn on PlainText when I get back, to synchronize data but I often forget to do this. This solution would work for me -- although texting to the US is probably going to be a bit expensive..
