I’m not associated with the project and don’t follow it super closely, but I think this is the idea behind the briar project (at least for messaging)

There are many projects similar with Briar, they all have the same limitations:

"The range of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi is around 10 metres, depending on obstacles. Clearly this isn’t enough for communicating across a city or even a large building. So when Briar receives a message from a nearby contact, it stores the message and can later pass it on to other contacts when they come within range (for example, when you move from one place to another)"

BRIAR's how it works page depicts Wi-Fi and Tor also, so range isn't necessarily an issue.
