As Premasagar writes: "There are 61 million people in the UK and 10 million of them have never used the Web. How would you help someone to get online for the first time? [...] The job of the Government’s UK Online Centres is to help bridge the digital divide".
They did this by building a service with Taykt. "In just a few hours, we had created an SMS text message service, which allows people to text their postcode to a short phone number, and be texted back details of their nearest UK Online centre."
We think that's a great example of using Taykt, and nicely done. We received some wonderful feedback on the API from the team which we hope to use to improve the service, and they were kind enough to say that Taykt "takes the pain out of dealing with mobile networks" and Tom described it as an excellent service. Thank you!Read more about this project:

- Digital inclusion goes mobile from Dharmafly.
- Tom's blog post about the event.
We're making some changes to the service to make it even easier to use, and will be re-opening our basic plans shortly.
