> As the war is reaching Addis Ababa, the Internet will be shut down there, too, pretty soon. We personally need to be connected to the internet (mainly just IMAP email) during lockdown The question is also "by who and why". Could they grant an exemption to your IP range for business reasons? If not and international texts are working, it might be possible to modify a lot of android handset to basically run TCP over Text Messages and use that to connect to IMAP. The local warlord might see the traffic but he might not care about plain business emails.
