Mobile GSM phone technology is the most widespread communication technology worldwide. Today, GSM networks are available in most areas and throughout all levels of society. This makes them the ideal tool for the distribution of learning content in order to achieve the widest possible outreach.
Most existing mobile learning solutions, however, are not suitable to for threshold and developing
countries, since they heavily focus on latest 3G technology and require PDAs/smartphones and relatively broad bandwidth, which is not available in all regions – or only at high cost. The lack of literacy and/or media competency in different levels of society further complicates matters.

To use the full potential of mobile phones for learning purposes, a simple and easy to use solution is needed. Such a solution should not only focus on written text and multimedia, but should also make use of audio formats and traditional approaches to learning, like story-telling .

I-Call provides access to audio-based interactive stories, which aim at awareness raising and change of attitude at community level. Users listen to the story and decide at certain points about how the story should continue by input at the keyboard ("if X should do this, press 1, if X should do that press 3"...). They thus face the consequences of their decisions within the story.
