I guess this is cool but it would be better with a cellular modem. I had a phone in this format (Nokia E63) and loved it. It eventually flaked out and also the LTE network was shut down so it became unusable. Would be great to also have a MURS or HF radio with a super slow modem for much longer range text communication than is possible with LoRA.

Countries already phase out LTE? Where?

Wait, I'm in California, but may have confused it with the 3g shutdown. Hmm.
