Which can be sent to their carrier-provided email account (last I checked, they all do that), and their phone's built-in apps can leverage that. This (SMTP/POP/IMAP) doesn't have to be any more visible to the luddites than the MMS protocol is. But the MMS based application can easily be modified to use SMTP and POP or IMAP instead of the MMS protocol.
