Why do we need it?

These days mobile devices are ubiquitous and we depend on applications such as Maps, News, and Search in our daily lives. SMSmart allows you to access these apps without paying for expensive data and in situations where you don’t have data.

Who is it for?

Many people in the United States are on limited data plans and bad data coverage. In situations where users don’t have access to data or have data that is too slow, SMSmart allows you to access things like news, search, and maps.

What makes it stand out from the crowd?

SMSmart allows you to circumvent the need for data while still providing a beautiful user interface and a smooth user experience because the SMS layer is abstracted away.

What’s next?

SMSmart will be expanding from the United States to emerging markets like India where Android phones are being adopted quickly but data coverage is still relatively underdeveloped.
