Wikipedia To Deliver Articles Via SMS

Wikipedia is starting to tackle a problem many content providers struggle with — reaching feature phone users on-the-go. Wikipedia’s solution will deliver articles via text message when users send an SMS request. The new product will help expand Wikipedia’s reach in developing countries. We’ve seen many services get creative about enabling rich mobile experiences on feature phones. For some more examples, take a look at M-Pesa’s mobile payments or Saya’s location based services.
