The problem was mentioned some time ago in reference to a refugee camp in
Europe.
You need csip simple and to know the phone's ip address. IP checker is a
simple free app that will how this.
"Just install csip simple and create a profile called "user", not linked to
any server. To call another person with the same setup, you just need to
know his ip address. Once they have sent it via voice, email, sms or
whatsapp or ever (much better) a safer way like textsecure, you simply type
"user at 15.14.173 et cetera (basically user@ other person's ip) and their
Csipsimple will ring. It works and it's the purest form of Internet. "
It doesn't have to be called user by the way. So John or Mabel will work
fine. You do need the ip address so to call John it would be
John at 192.168.2.99 mabel at 192.168.2.33
You do not need the router to be connected to the internet for this to work
by the way.
Cut and paste should work. So stick the wifi router up high and you should
be able to cover a fair range.
