Africa Gathering is a great platform for initiatives like this @Mike - You know about my interest in local currencies and LETS schemes. It's funny, but we did have a conversation around a similar kind of SMS initiative a year or two ago. FrontlineSMS:Credit will only work on the back of a network operator-provided money transfer system, so we'll have to wait a little longer in the UK before we can do anything. :( @Joshua - Tell me more! @Ed – A big thanks to you for allowing us to announce the launch.
