Has anyone here actually used the LILYGO T-Lora Pager for a while? I’ve been thinking about buying one because having a Meshtastic device with its own keyboard sounds honestly really cool, but I keep seeing people say it’s kinda buggy with Meshtastic.

Some people make it sound awesome, then others say the firmware is rough, unstable, or just not fully there yet. So now I’m not sure if it’s actually worth buying or if it’s more of a “cool idea but frustrating to use” type of thing.

For people that own one:
- Does it actually work well day to day?
- Is Meshtastic stable on it now?
- Would you buy it again?

I mainly want something portable that I can use without always needing my phone connected.

There's this thing called Meshtastic - it's basically a way to text people without cell service, WiFi, or data.
You use a small device that connects to your phone, and messages "hop" from person to person. So the more people using it, the better it works.

Why it's amazing at a festival:
Service always sucks → this still works
Easy way to find your friends
Works across camps/ crowds
No signal needed at all

I'm thinking of bringing one and maybe setting it up to help everyone connect. If a few of us run it, we could actually build a little network for the whole festival.
If you've used it before or wanna try it, Imk - would be dope to get a group going

I’m just posting this because the more people have it the better it works.
