@whispersystems i get that SMS support is s stupid amount of work, but let's just say it's too much, not that no one needs it, -
@quinnnorton@whispersystems In India, the cheapest gen-purpose data plan costs around Rs.95 ($1.5) while a 1-month SMS plan: Rs 20 ($0.3). -
@quinnnorton@whispersystems All in all, in India SMSes are far cheaper than even the cheapest data plan. -
@pranesh_prakash@whispersystems in the US there's also a lot of places without data that still have cell, not sure re india, but france too -
@quinnnorton Same is true of India. Mobile data coverage is far less than mobile coverage. A train journey will prove that.@whispersystems

@quinnnorton@whispersystems I'm more interested in how android users who don't run Gapps play store can get textsecure installed. Anyone? -

@whispersystems@quinnnorton I presume that if people are buying smart phones, they have access to data. can't install TS on a dumb phone. -
@yawnbox@whispersystems but we're well into the cycle of hand-me-downs now globally, and that second-hand market will only grow. a lot. -
@quinnnorton@whispersystems interesting. I know very little about it all. am very interested in the research data.
