Seems "The Serval Mesh" is no longer on Playstore. *I prefer to download from the app store*. I found similar alternative on Playstore though. Firechat : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opengarden.firechat

All Mesh chat apps seem bug riddled at this stage.
FireChat requiring email verification for something to work without internet and connects direct with Bluetooth or Wi-Fi  between devices. What tha??
A lot of this apps pop up now will see how it develops. Briar also works with Tor but no iOS version.

no im not because in my country usage of messenger is FREE so i need no internet payments to access and also the load is very cheap so i can either use text messaging or free messaging from facebook.
