*** Bug 13210 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Is texting still a thing? :) I think with the ubiquity of web-capable mobile devices this feature would be of limited use now. ,Do we think that this might still be a useful thing in less affluent countries where mobile data is very expensive and/or not ubiquitous? (In reply to Liz Rea from comment #4) > ,Do we think that this might still be a useful thing in less affluent > countries where mobile data is very expensive and/or not ubiquitous? I think that's quite possible, but I don't think the original request arose from that point of view. I'm fine with keeping the bug open if the idea seems like something that might fulfill a real need.

The setup for texts is not easy as it seems often there is no SMS:Driver available for local network providers. There were also legal issues brought up in the past (India IIRC). Could displaying a QR code to scan be nice? |
