Mesh towers, repeaters, service team, power, maintenence, ect. Mesh and cellphone are just radios.
Unless you are: running HF or VHF/UHF amateur with a repeater, or GMRS with a repeater, the best you could expect is a mile, maybe more with line of sight.
It’s not feasible unless everyone in your group had access to a repeater (ham or GMRS) which requires a tower. Even more, reception can be hit or miss (inside a building, handheld vs mobile, RFI)
Mesh is not evem at this point yet. You’ll sink a ton of money for sonething a cellphone does well in.
I love how you are using your thinking cap and encourage to prove me wrong. I suggest finding a cheap MVNO (tracfone, boost, mint, visible) as a lot have lowered prices and “good” servce.
