If Internet is Shut Down in India, These Devices Will Keep You Connected — Here’s How You’ll Stay Updated

Tech News. In today's time, our life has become very dependent on the internet. Mobile phones, social media, online banking, studies and office work, everything is connected to the internet. But if one day the internet suddenly stops working in India (like during a war, riot or any major disaster), then what will happen? There is no need to panic in such times. There are some devices and methods that work even without the internet and keep you connected with important updates and information. Know here what those devices are.

FM Radio

Radio is a device that works even without internet or mobile network. You will keep getting government or local news from radio channels. Buying a portable radio that runs on battery or solar is a wise decision.

Hand crank radio

This is a special kind of radio which charges by rotating it with the hand. It has a torch and USB charging port along with the radio. It works even without electricity and internet.

Satellite Phone or Satellite Communicator

Satellite phones or GPS devices connect directly to satellites, not to the Internet. You can send messages in emergency situations. Some of these devices can also send SOS alerts.

Offline Maps and Apps

If you already have offline maps (eg offline version of Google Maps) and necessary documents, download them. You can get location and information even without internet.

SMS Alert Service

Some government and news agencies share updates via SMS when the internet is down. For this, registration is required in advance. You can also avail the facility of SMS updates from the telecom company. You can easily find all these devices on online e-commerce platforms. You can also buy them at a discount.
