Litchi for DJI Phantom 2 VS Tello

If you want additional functionality beyond the DJI Fly, you'll almost certainly want Litchi. Source: 5 months ago

If loading the DJI app on your phone is a concern, you could use one of the Litchi apps instead (which are developed in the UK) or use the DJI controllers that have the screen and app built in, without connecting it to the Internet. Source: 5 months ago

If you are using a DJI drone, you can use https://flylitchi.com/ to do this. It uses a second cell phone and is $25. Source: 6 months ago

I think it's also worth pointing out that DJI's first-party app isn't required to operate many of their drones. Most of their drones, apart from all but the most recent (i.e. The one this announcement is about probably won't have support for a while, but the previous gen will) has support through apps like Litchi and Dronelink via the developer API, which have additional features and don't have the exact same... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

I'm on Mint and happy with it, live in Arlington VA and work in Downtown DC. As of last year you could sign up for Visible for a month and cancel.

For US calling, if you have a supported phone, you can also sign up for a cheap US provider like Tello and pay $8/month for unlimited US calls and texts on a secondary SIM.

That's one of many similar US providers discussed in depth here. Source: about 1 year ago
