I used this! It was a godsend for people like me on a metered MVNO plan with only access to 3G towers and no home Wi-Fi (when you're extremely poor, you make sacrifices).
That's cool that it's still available, and I bet there will be a resurgence of dumb phones in the coming years that would be glad to use it.
Opera Mini isn't what it used to be. Became an absolute resource hog with all the spyware and extra shit stuffed in. Back then it was a solid option for those of us that couldn't afford all the mobile data needed to surf the web. Now it's just a personal data hoovering POS.
That's a shame. Ah, well.
