What if you have no cell phone or computer?
At this point, cell phone is a necessity in India to get any services. Mobile subscriber base is about 1.1 billion (1) which means almost all adults have a cell phone connection. So the question is practically moot.

Practically moot is a varied distance from moot. I was just curious if there was an underclass that was unable to get any services. It's much the same in my country, really.

And in a delightful catch-22, Aadhaar is essentially a requirement for obtaining a cell phone.
You can bypass this with some other documents and providing a landline that they verify within a week, but it's incredibly cumbersome.
These are implemented as biometric two factor auth. So you show your id card, scan your finger print and validate via a code received to the registered mobile device on sms
