- Text messageIf data is down but texts still get through, your status goes by SMS.
- Phone to phoneNearby phones with Kinhold pass messages along by Bluetooth, with no network at all.
- Long-range radio (optional)Pair a small pocket radio to reach family across town, even in a total blackout.
- Carried by handMessages wait on phones and are delivered when someone with Kinhold comes into range.
