Great post and great news from Actifit. However, there are things we really need to consider. There are things considered basic that are not basic in the third world and which makes using actifit may be a bit of an uphill task.

1. Mobile phone, it is not basic, in some families they only have one or non at all.

2. Internet is very expressive and many can't afford it, that is why you find cyber cafes where people go to and pay to use internet service just to check if they have an email.

3. Another challenge is power supply, you either have irregular supply or non exciting supply which means powering your phone is a problem.

4. Availability of phone service, I lot of people live in the hinter lands where there is no network services on the phone.

5. Cost, the cost of earning $1 worth of actifit reward might cost you $5 as you can see, it then makes no sense to try to earn the $1 actifit reward.

While I am not saying it is a standard for everyone in the third world but most of the people living below the porvety Iine are facing these challenges. If they can't afford a standard meal definitely they can't afford a phone and other things that go with using actifit. Thanks a lot for your post, it is still something the world can work at.
