Thanks. Exactly how can I send this page to my friends and family back in Iran?
toomuchtodo•2h ago
You cannot, they are on their own with what they have. My genuine condolences and sympathy.

It has been 120 hours (5 days) since the internet shutdown in Iran began. While international phone calls have started working again, data remains blocked.

I am looking for technical solutions to establish resilient, long-term communication channels that can bypass such shutdowns. What are the most viable options for peer-to-peer messaging, mesh networks, or satellite-based solutions that don't rely on local ISP infrastructure?

If the phones are working, 56k modem.

Starlink and/or BGAN/satellite phones.
