Solution Overview & Benefits

MXShare is a platform which when installed in the core of a mobile network enables people who cannot afford to buy a handset to have a fully functioning Cloud Phone which they access using other people's shared phones.

The platform enables mobile operators to realise very low cost mobile phone services for the one billion people in BoP who use mobile phone services today, but cannot afford or do not wish to buy a handset. These people share phones with family and friends, use street side payphones managed by agents or community phones. Today these people are anonymous users, who find it difficult to make and receive calls and near impossible to receive private text messages or mobile payments. With a Cloud Phone they are an identified subscriber, with their own phone number and prepaid phone account.

History & Development

Movirtu provides innovative mobile technology and business models to wireless telecommunication service providers servicing rural poor communities in Sub-Sahara Africa and South Asia to help them realise shared access to basic mobile phone services at a much lower cost than has been achieved before.

Although Movirtu is a for-profit enterprise, the company has an underlying social mission: To expand the use of mobile communication by the rural poor communities in Sub-Sahara Africa and South Asia living on less than $2 a day to improve their sustainable livelihoods and help alleviate poverty.
