Assuming i never had to call anyone more than a few miles from me anyway, how practical would it be to stop having a phone altogether and just use MeshCore or Meshtastic for short range communication? What troubles would i run into from not having a phone?
I figure i could even buy radios for people i need to talk to and with no phone bill this would pay for itself in about a year.
Meshcore doesn’t solve all of that, but it definitely is an improvement over meshtastic.
Messages deliver more reliably, and you get 16 hops at minimum instead of 7 at max.
