CircuitMess Chatter - A DIY Wireless Communicator

Chatter is a free, private, security-first texting device.

It comes in a pair (2 pieces) because texting yourself is not as fun as you think.

Unlike your regular phone, this device does not need a cellular network or a SIM card to work because it creates its own wireless network and communicates with other Chatter devices you’ve paired it with.

The main purpose of Chatter is education and showing people that you can communicate free and remotely without big corporations and the internet.

It uses the so-called “LoRa” low-power wide-area network technology in order to send text messages, emojis, memes, and GIFs.Chatter uses a publicly-available set of frequencies that are allocated for use cases like this one.
