   Yes, it is free as in both freedom and beer, but, as I said,   
   requires additinal configuration of the smartphone after   
   installation. What is the model of your friend's smartphone?   
   I can help them with setting it up.

   Unfortunately, there are very few good newsreaders, Fidonet   
   clients, and e-mail clients for the Android... Nobody is interested   
   in the truly free and decentralised internet.

   What is this `Telegram' -- a Fidonet client for Android?

   I will.
