The GEN3 also has one-button SOS for an emergency. It will notify emergency responders in North America or Europe. The SPOT GEN3 is a satellite communication tool that lets your family and friends know you're safe when you're out of cell phone rage. The device sends messages with GPS coordinates and a link to Google Maps to 10 pre-determined contacts.
#DOES ZELLO WORK WITHOUT CELL SERVICE PORTABLE#
So what could I do to contact my family in another city or state? Skip the Ham Radio LicenseĮven though I am a ham radio operator, I don't recommend it. Yes, I believe there is value in having a license. For the average citizens, though, a portable shortwave station is too much work, time and money. It also requires family on the other end invest the same amount of effort, time and money. But without a link to the outside world, you're talking only to the people in your little network. Not the outside world.
Zello (and other messaging apps) need data to communicate. Without them, they are a brick.Īt best, an app like FireChat turns cell phones into small networks. You might create a FireChat network at your shelter or hotel. How would I get messages to friends and family if the only communication tool I owed (my cell phone) failed to work? Debunking Zelloĭespite the hype that Zello could turn your cell phone into a walkie-talkie, cell phones do not work without cellular networks. As Hurricane Irma raged, cellular networks hit capacity. At one point, 50% or more of cell sites were out of service in South Florida.
