1. A method, comprising:
determining, via a processing resource of a first computing device, whether a cellular signal of the first computing device is below a threshold cellular signal;
transmitting from the first computing device to a number of computing devices including a second computing device, via a radio of the first computing device, first signaling including data representing a request for operational data in response to determining that the cellular signal of the first computing device is below the threshold cellular signal;
receiving, via the radio of the first computing device, second signaling comprising the operational data of each of the number of computing devices including the second computing device, wherein the operational data comprises at least one of: cellular availability, a privacy setting, or an available bandwidth of each of the number of computing devices including the second computing device;
scoring the number of computing devices in response to receiving, via the radio of the first computing device, the second signaling comprising the operation data from each of the number of computing devices;
selecting the second computing device with a highest score of the number of computing devices; and
transmitting from the first computing device to the second computing device, via the radio of the first computing device, third signaling including data representing at least one of: a voice call, a video call, or a message in response to receiving the second signaling comprising the operational data.
