MiRadio is a simple way to send text messages without Wi-Fi or cell service

miradioMost people use their phones more for texting than phone calls, but depending on plans texting can be an expensive habit to have. MiRadio is a wireless text communicator that functions on radio waves and can operate for up to 1.6 miles. The device itself is no-frills, with a simple text-only display and a basic keyboard, so the battery will last for a long time. Because of the distance limitations and the single function of the device, it’s not likely to replace texting through phones for most consumers, and instead more resembles those pocket communicators that were marketed to kids in the 90s. If MiRadio sounds desirable, backers can get it for $200 in July.
