Smartphones are great and we enjoy them, but there is more than half the world population that are still using feature phones and have little or no access to internet for various reasons like (costs, infrastructure). The question is how do we allow them to also experience some of the great applications available? USSD, SMS and Voice. What we call primitive bearers. Extremely powerful technologies, but ignored by many.
