Send Litecoin using SMS text message using lite.im

While a lot of us have shifted to smartphones now, there are still some countries where people use basic phones on daily basis. Also, there are several areas, even in developed countries, where you might not get internet. In such places, you won’t be able to send cryptocurrency to anyone. But folks at Lite.im want to change that by bringing Litecoin services to anyone, regardless of whether or not they have access to the internet. So even the basic phone users are able to manage their Litecoin wallet with ease.

With lite.im, you’ll also be able to send Litecoin to those who don’t already have a Litecoin wallet, or to those whose wallet address you don’t know, even if the recipient has no idea how to use cryptocurrency.
