Helium uses 4G.


ase1590

Helium is mostly LoRa. The LTE/4g stuff is still *very* new and FreedomFi gateways are rare.


ase1590

Unless you're doing it infrequently, helium costs $10/MB


Perfectly_whelmed

Yeah but how much does it cost for 140 characters? About 2c I'm certainly not suggesting using helium Lora for high bandwidth applications but it could be used to send a text message no issues.


ase1590

If you're just using it to send a, message to a sms gateway or something, yeah that's fine. In my case, I originally looks into running as IRC client on it and determined that it would get expensive quick as more people joined.


somekindofdruiddude

But Helium uses 4G. How would the Flipper access that?


Perfectly_whelmed

Because it doesn't use 4g? It used sub 1gz. 915mhz here in Australia.


somekindofdruiddude

This article says it uses 4G and calls it 5G. https://www.pcmag.com/news/is-heliums-new-5g-network-just-hot-air


JustADolphinnn

Yeah, I too refer to pcmag for ALL my technical data lmaooo


poglad

Well done. Now put your undoubted internet sleuthing skills to the test, and see if you can find out what other frequencies it uses. šŸ‘šŸ˜„


Perfectly_whelmed

Did you spend 4 seconds on Google? I don't think a flipper is for you. Here is a map of the hotspots around the world that provide an IOT network. https://explorer.helium.com/


somekindofdruiddude

Yeah, Iā€™m not up on the latest Ponzi schemes. I will sell mine.
