How to make phone calls anywhere with Roam

Last updated on October 1, 2025

Making phone calls and using your mobile phone when there is no mobile phone reception has been out of reach for many.

TX-E is changing that that, it's the original problem we set out to solve.

Roam is a portable long range WiFi unit, it is able to connect to WiFi HaLow and Standard WiFi networks and create a local hotspot that your devices including your phone can connect to. It is battery powered, waterproof and designed to be taken with you easily.

You can configure your Roam unit with TX-E Connect our configuration app. You will need to download this from the Android Play store or the Apple App store.

With this app you can connect to the Roam unit by Bluetooth (you will need to make sure your unit is powered on) it will allow you to do the following.

  • Scan for and connect to WiFi networks both long range and standard

    • You can connect to and save multiple networks

  • Setup your WiFi hotspot name and password

To get your phone fully functional you will need to turn on WiFi Calling. WiFi calling will enable both calls and text, this includes emergency calls (and importantly in regional areas this includes AML - Advanced Mobile Location).
