Spending time outdoors can be a lot of fun. But what if your phone doesn’t have a good reception where you are? Wouldn’t you still want to stay in touch with your friends? goTenna can help. It pairs wirelessly with your smartphone and lets you text and share your location with anyone who has the device if you don’t get any service. Think about how helpful that can be in certain situations.
