Mobile users in low-connectivity regions cannot afford data for video communication

People in emerging markets (particularly Africa) face prohibitively expensive data costs that make video calling inaccessible, forcing them to rely on voice-only communication despite having capable devices. Current solutions like WhatsApp, Zoom, and standard video calling apps all require data bundles, which are unaffordable for price-sensitive users who can only budget for basic airtime. They need video communication that works on standard cellular networks without consuming expensive data allowances.
