Everyone having an email address is a false assumption, or a bad generalization. There are people among us without one, and owning a phone number instead.
I'm not sure along which lines the divide falls though. Younger? Less western? Less businessy? It's still possible that the people who would be interested in a newsletter are the same people who have email addresses.
- Sharlin 5y agoI used the word "everyone" rhetorically, of course. The point is, to a first (and second) approximation everybody uses email and nobody uses RSS.
- easrng 5y agoIf you have a phone number, you probably have an email through a SMS/MMS gateway.
- rhn_mk1 5y agoThat's interesting, I have never seen that. Is it customary or well known in your area?
- easrng 5y agoI wouldn't call it well known but almost every carrier I've heard of has one. Check https://www.mfitzp.com/list-of-email-to-sms-gateways/ https://www.mfitzp.com/list-of-email-to-sms-gateways/. If your carrier is an MVNO then use one from the underlying provider.
