58% of all phones sold last year globally were feature phones. In many developing countries, this is an even larger majority. If your market requires you to develop for these areas, you need to develop with this constraint in mind. These phones use SMS and USSD as a user interface. SMS is a long standing technique for sending messages, and USSD allows you to send SMS like messages in a secure session.

Thoughtworks acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land where we work and live, and their continued connection to Country. We pay our respects to Elders past and present. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples were the world's first scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians. We celebrate the stories, culture and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders of all communities who also work and live on this land. 

 

As a company, we invite Thoughtworkers to be actively engaged in advancing reconciliation and strengthen their solidarity with the First Peoples of Australia. Since 2019, we have been working with Reconciliation Australia to formalize our commitment and take meaningful action to advance reconciliation. We invite you to review our Reconciliation Action Plan.
