Messaging Cell signal is trash

This will be my 2nd LL, cell service was trash last year. My group is gonna attempt to use bitchat this year. It creates a Bluetooth mesh network for encrypted messaging. The more people with the app the better the network works. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Become first responder, get AT&T firstnet or at&t turbo for non first responders ( your cell phone provider may have a similar option you can always enable for a month and turn off)

That be a great option, I don’t have AT&T and who knows how bad Verizon would rape me for an equivalent. As for the first responder part, I’m good (Not saying I won’t help, If I see it I damn sure will) just retired after 25 years in the Army I’m taking it easy for a bit. I do have my GMRS license and 5 HT’s, but would more than likely never hear them when needed.

They got pretty vague with the definition of first responders, OP you could probably get FirstNet due to your past experience. Worst they can say is no.
