J. Chipchase, (2005). Understanding Non-Literacy as a Barrier to Mobile Phone Communication. Nokia Blue Sky, 001-2005.

Original abstract: Emerging markets have higher numbers of textually non-literate people than more developed markets. Effective use of mobile phone features requires an understanding of textual prompts. Contact management and asynchronous communication in particular presents challenges for textually non-literate people. Solutions can be categorized as improvements to the phone, the ecosystem and to the operator infrastructure.
