servalproject.org is free (and open source)
P2P voice, chat and online status.
Uses Ad Hoc networking, which iirc FireChat uses bluetooth so servalproject should get better range.
I'm not affiliated with the project in any way (I'm not in Australia) but I've happily used it for some tests.
- sixQuarks 12y agoterrible name!!! They need a catchy name like FireChat.
- notastartup 12y agothis is interesting what is ad hoc networking and how does it work offline? Firechat uses bluetooth but doesn't work with iphone to android communication?
- benliong78 12y agoThey somehow managed to do that: allow communication between two platforms. No one is quite sure how though. It's their secret source that they aren't open sourcing.
- jschwartzi 12y agoYou could conceivably do this with Bluetooth Low Energy, which has pretty diverse support nowadays. Mesh networking is one of its touted capabilities.
