Twenty-three-year old Rio Safiyanto sells face masks, or coverings, for about 30 cents each in central Jakarta, Indonesia. He makes enough [A]money[/A] to buy a cell phone that [A]permits[/A] him to visit websites like Facebook and Twitter, as well as finding gaming [A]applications[/A], or apps.

Rio Safiyanto says every average [A]person[/A] has a cellphone. He likes having one because he can talk to his family when he is away from home. And, he is especially [A]pleased[/A] that he can use it to listen to music. Mr. Safiyanto's phone has a [A]keypad[/A] that makes it look like a Blackberry.

A BlackBerry device is shown in front of products displayed in a glass cabinet at the Research in Motion offices in Waterloo November 14, 2012.

It is known as a [A]feature phone[/A] or smartphone lite. That is because it is cheaper and cannot perform as many actions as more [A]advanced phones[/A] like the Apple iPhone.

These devices make up the majority of cell phones sold around the world. They have proven more successful in places like Indonesia, where some smartphones cost 700 dollars or more. Although many lower-income users are new to smartphones, they are quickly learning to use the [A]technology[/A].

Eddy Tamboto is the [A]managing director[/A] of the Jakarta office of the Boston Consulting Group. He explains the importance of having a mobile phone.

"It's basically the way they get to know about employment [A]opportunities[/A], the way they get to know about entrepreneurial opportunities. So the phone and the smartphone is not just a [A]convenience[/A] or indulgence, but, actually, it's a big part of day to day necessity".

Cell manufacturer Nokia offers a service called Life Tools. For a small monthly payment, the company sends text messages to farmers. The messages tell of weather conditions, crop prices, agricultural news and give other advice.

Local [A]businessman[/A] Aldi Haryopratomo has developed a way for small store owners to sell things like prepaid cellphone minutes and life insurance through text messages. Ruma is the company that developed the technology. The company is working on a system that will notify people about jobs in their area.

At a recent [A]digital technology show[/A] in Jakarta, banks offered no-interest financing for credit card purchases. Marina Luthfiani manages a mobile shop in the area. She said almost everyone can buy a smartphone because of competitive financing and credit choices. She says Indonesians like to buy the [A]latest devices[/A].

A report last June by Semiocast, a French internet [A]research[/A] company, said Jakarta was the world's top tweeting city, ahead of Tokyo and London.
