An Android application that will allow you to use the mesh network to send basic text messages is now available as an alpha release, and eventually you’ll be able to run Signal over the LoRa link.

He even includes an STL file for a 3D printed case. If you need to send more than text, then this Voice-over-LoRa Mesh Network project may be more your style.

Offered in a pack of two, the Pulse provides voice and text capabilities on secure LoRa mesh networks, allowing users to remain in contact even when traditional cellular coverage is unavailable.
