    I always thought these were more like walkie talkies for messaging than telephones that you can call anyone.

    Like it would be good if cell serivce goes down.

      That’s pretty much exactly what they are. Text message in walkie-talkies. With the added benefit that if your friend can’t hear you, but another friend is in between, your message automatically gets relayed through their walkie-talkie.
