Cointext launches beta release allowing users to send and receive bitcoin cash thru SMS without internet, and you don't even have to be well versed with cryptocurrency to use it.
How badly would wish this to be available in your country?

Pretty god damn bad, this breaks down the barrier to entry. I freaking love when I hear news like this because it means we are a giant step forward towards mass adoption. Lets be honest, not every Tom, Dick, and Harry is going to add a QT wallet to their computer nor would they be well versed in using it. That being said, I have always been adamant about crypto only gaining full adoption when everybody can use Bitcoin and basically in no way shape or form could they screw it up. Although, pretty lame this is for Bcash. It was all good until then, now I don't know if many people will actually use it :-X.

There's another company that's looking to integrate Amazon Alexa into their system so that you could use that, as well as other platforms, to send money directly to friends, family, etc. I think that is an even bigger push than simply text message sending of crypto; however, that could be pretty significant itself.

A very good idea, it looks like new Cointext brings new SMS technology to send Bitcoincash.
To facilitate us who are on a difficult Internet network

However lame it Bcash is, if it is, the technology itself a big leap towards finding alternatives should internet protocol fail in the process.
this will pave the way for answering a few shortcomings of sending and receiving payment system whenever internet fails.
Also this will make cryptocurrency available in areas where again it is impossible to connect to the system of cryptos, we only SMS signal.
Let us just see how this will work out in the tested areas of applications, but needless to say, I believe this will be great in third world countries where internet is quite lousy weak!

I don't know how true is this, because as far as I know all transactions that made by cryptocurrency business are done by using internet connections, and without internet connection, we cannot access bitcoin at all.

I believe this to be legit. However I can't try it for now since the areas where this service is available is only at select few US Canadan and others.
SMS and internet protocol are two different things but are analogous. They function similarly and provides services.
This innovation is quite genius as this answers a few drawback with only using internet.
Hope other cryptos will find a way and develop more using this technology.
I would like this to be available in our country

I guess bcash is made for barter in the jungle like city. U can ask for this and that while hiking on mt everest

Nothing is impossible with our advance technology of today that before we cannot send money abroad without putting it in the envelop as a money telegram and will be delivered by the courier to the door step but now a simple transaction will do and the money will be receive instantly by our love ones. So therefore it will be possible for Bitcoin cash to make an unique features for the sake of marketing strategy of making the Bitcoin cash value to rise up once more.

Exactly the point. This is an innovative idea that transcends what cryptocurrency transactions are limited to do-requiring internet.
This opens up new avenue of possibilities. Utilizing the best available technology and tae advantage of it to better provide services is always a great achievement.

The idea is good but what I'm concern of is the security itself. We all know that hackers can easily access SMS data. I read a lot of hacks that is being done via SMS even in SMS 2fa.
