This is Joyce from Stellar. One of the most interesting parts of this project for me is the fact that airtime (prepaid mobile minutes) will be a method of savings. And in many places in the world, there are many locations and agents where people can pay for mobile minutes (essentially cash in/ cash out). It is ubiquitous. This means Praekelt and their users can piggy back off of existing networks and reach more people at lower cost.
