The poor cannot afford cell phone service. Even if new handsets were free most of the poor could not afford cell phone service. A major change is needed to drastically reduce the cost of wireless phone service. I have designed a ‘message phone’ system which needs 10,000 fewer phone towers to provide service to a region. Only three message phone towers would be needed to cover all of India. I designed a ‘message phone’ to provide service at less than a fraction of a cent per minute, and thus be affordable by 2 billion people. I have applied for a patent and wish to donate the design to a company which can use it to help end poverty by providing communications for less than 1 cent per minute. The message phone is also extremely rugged, will last for at least 10 years, can be used by people who are illiterate or blind or who speak any of thousands of languages, can be shared by many people, and will be able to download and play 100+ hours of podcasts from the internet.
