What if someone finds your IP address and sends you a bunch of crap? It would be very easy to use someone's entire monthly data allowance.

Plus, it only works if you can afford and have access to cell service, and in those cases you or have access to normal Internet stuff.

Unless cell towers are able to route between two phones when their fiber backend goes down. That would make this actually pretty useful in emergencies if a rower could work like a ham repeater, assuming it wasn't too clogged with traffic to have a chance.
