LoRa isn't even a good alternative for SMS. The duty cycle, at least in Europe is too low to have a real-time conversation.

By duty cycle are you referring to slow message latency and small packet size?

No, here in Europe a device on the LoRa band 868Mhz can only transmit 1% of the time by law.

Because this also applies to base stations the throughput is highly constrained.
