Abstract

Shair is a system allowing contracted mobile phone users to benefit from their unused quota minutes and text messages. Unused minutes and texts are shared via opportunistic local connectivity, allowing other Shair users to use sharers' phones within reach of short range radio such as Bluetooth.
