Allows smart-phones to communicate, even in the face of catastrophic failure of cellular networks. It works by using your phone's Wi-Fi to communicate with other phones on the same network. Or even by forming impromptu networks consisting only of mobile phones. This software allows you to easily make private phone calls, send secure text messages and share files in caves, in subways, in the Outback, in Australia or Africa, in Europe or the United States -- even when cellular networks fail or are unavailable.
You can also keep using your existing phone number on the mesh.

Within a building, at an event such as a gmc rally, or *maybe* even an rv resort (yeah, I know, that's pushing it) where everyone is sharing the same wifi network then users could communicate even though they might be out of range for their cellphone
plan. This would also avoid data plan charges.
Pair this app with a raspberry pi piratebox and you have a real local mesh.
