wifi ring before intiatiating cellular functions

Why outsource when close enough?

Good idea, but there seems to be quite a few "wifi walkie talkie" hits on google.

Walkie Talkie apps would be stand alone, initated apps.

This software, if phone hardware is more unlocked, is an installed subroutine of the dialer and operates before network connection and charges. I would probably limit app users to 2 or 3 quick wifi adhoc pass ons before ringing the big boys.

Of course, the network providers will put a hit out on you for this ...

They have to debate fine points of ideas somehow.
