    Phone calls, SMS, data as a baseline. GPS, and a way to run signal would be great. Everything else would be gravy.

    My first thought was to use a pi zero as a base from which to build. Getting everything to fit in a package that fits in my pocket would be next. I can go to a machine shop to make a case from aluminium, rubber gaskets for water protection. Unfortunately I have a more than full time job and can’t really dedicate any time to figuring this out, but if there are reproducible instructions already out there, then I will be looking at that option and start getting the parts to build.

    It also helps that my phone carrier is offering me a free line right now so I can run 2 phones like a drug dealer.
