"Communicate anywhere, any time without infrastructure, without mobile
towers, without satellites, without wifi hotspots, and without
carriers. Use existing off-the-shelf mobile cell phone handsets. Use
your existing mobile phone number wherever you go, and never pay
roaming charges again."

"Mobile communications are useful, but depend on infrastructure that
can be damaged, overwhelmed, or even absent. So we assumed zero
infrastructure, and came up with this; just the phones talking to each
other, relaying calls, and resolving numbers for each other; a
cellular commons using our unique Serval Mesh telephony software. We
have developed mesh software that uniquely allows you to use your
existing phone number."

I have installed this app, but have not had an opportunity to test it yet.
I'd appreciate feedback from folks who have actually had it in
operation. Thanks.
