Take Your Android Apps Offline via SMS

90% of Indians are on mobile phones with no Internet - which is about 600M users approximately. We want to help you tap into this audience via SMS serving the info and services your android app provides.

In this talk we are hoping to demo how any android app built can be made to serve information without the need of expensive data plans, with SMS when offline.

This session was presented in Drodicon 2012 http://funnel.hasgeek.com/droidcon2012/577-take-your-android-app-offline-with-sms
