[ Isn't this a bit spacious though? Unless you can automatically encrypt the messages it would be truly problematic to quickly communicate. While I cannot say I distrust the phones, I am not expecting to depend entirely of what we have been given, yes. I do however find them useful as they are. For the ends that you seek we would need a completely different network, which is doable, I won't deny it, but presently it sorely lacks from what you would call hardware.

Oh, and I can read this perfectly, of course. ]

H-hey, your phone is broken! That, or it's showing the weather forecast for the next few weeks all at once..

(Popola said you were looking for people to make a better communication system and shooed me this way.

Problem one: nothing works inside the dark hour. Can't figure out how the phones do for the life of me, either. And believe me, I tore mine apart a few times looking for the reason.)
