I mostly use it to make international calls cause sometimes the country my folks are living in shuts down the cellular internet for some reason when major exams/riots are happening and whatsapp stops working.
Imaging telling a whole nation of people they can’t use internet on their 500+ dollar phone. The fuck did they buy them for, playing temple run?
Btw you can suggest them the Briar messenger app. It can send messages via nearby peoples phones if they also have Briar. So if enough people installed it, a city could have it’s own messaging network even when the official one is down

Riots I get, but…exams? You’re telling me that they’ll shutdown the entire countries cellular internet…to stop some students from… cheating?
Yup, they shut it off for a couple of hours during exams so students won’t cheat.
Or at least, won’t cheat using the internet.
South Korea? I heard they are insane when it comes to exams.
Algeria, Syria, Iraq and Jordan apparently. Source: https://www.thenationalnews.com/news/uae/2024/05/31/exam-cheating-internet-blackout/
