Please. There are around a billion smartphones. Dumbphones do not count as "online". At least, certainly not in the context of csomar's comment, and not in the context of paulrouget's blog post.
- icebraining 14y agoWhy not? Between WAP and SMS, you can do a lot of online stuff, like using Twitter, sending emails, making bank transfers, getting Google Calendar alerts, paying bills, book flight tickets and more. Especially in the countries where people don't have smartphones or computers, this is extremely common. I think it doesn't make sense to exclude them just because they use a different interface.
