What We Don’t Know

What percentage of Venezuelan remittance recipients have smartphones? What Android versions and capabilities?

Why It Matters

Smartphone access determines:

• Direct-to-phone delivery feasibility

Investigation Method

1. Research Venezuelan smartphone penetration data
2. Survey remittance recipients about device ownership
3. Analyze Android version distribution
4. Compare urban vs rural access
5. Model system reach at various penetration rates

Success Criterion

Phase 0 Trial Integration

Track recipient device types and OS versions during trials.
