In this paper we explore development, gender and technology through a focus on mobile phones and examples of their everyday use by rural women in India. We introduce ways in which technologies might be thought about in terms of "meaningful mobilities" by discussing attachments, structures of labour, agency and specifically how mobiles are an active agent in complex and evolving gendered relationships
