Text to Change, the Dutch non-profit organisation, is an example of how a simple application can make a big difference. It runs a series of four week education programmes using SMS messaging. Each programme starts with an announcement SMS message to target a group of mobile users in a given region, which encourages them to opt into a questionnaire. Participants are then sent multiple choice quiz questions as SMS messages. They receive airtime as an incentive.
