Thanks for the update. Bummer it has those quirks

tl;dr short distance texting (up to 25 miles depending on line of sight) without cell service.

This is the meshtastic community, which revolves around radios that use unregulated frequencies to communicate.

These radios are either standalone or connect to your phone via bluetooth. They allow you to text others or transmit some data (e.g. temperature, humidity in a greenhouse).

They’re completely separate from cell networks. They form their own network by repeating signals they pick up. You can designate how many hops a message will have, which is how many times that message will be repeated.

The more people who have one, the better it works.

Can you tell us the battery life once you get some regular usage out of it?

Isn’t that phrase itself an absolute?
