Comment on This Tiny Radio Lets Me Send Texts Without Wi-Fi or Cell Service
friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 1 week agoDefinitely clickbait. The phrase “send texts” as it’s been used for the past quarter century means “sms texts” or maybe “text messages to other people on mobile phone networks”, which is not at all what this is.
Exactly. I was hyped because I’d like to send and receive SMS w/o a mobile phone. I was hoping someone implemented the protocol so I could integrate it into my desktop, the “no wi-fi or cell service” was merely a bonus.
But no, this is just a way to communicate over a different radio protocol than mobile phone standards.
Then what is it?
