So... you're looking for an app that can send data without having any access to any kind of network?

Yeah, I get it, just wanted to make sure I understand.

No, its not possible. You need a way for the message to get from your device to another, and that means having a network connection of some sort.

Is highly unlikely if it has no wifi or 3g how will it transmit the data?

Its like saying "I want to listen to music without any medium to play it on" by putting a cd up to my ear.

Not sure what you mean by "hack" but you can use a MiFi device to access a 3g network and send texts etc

This is a weird thread....

Someone wants to send texts with no network connection then want to hack a 3G network with no device...

Discussing something like that is a violation of forum policy.

Perhaps you should read it before posting again as we do not allow any discussion of illegal activities.

Its using someones network without their permission or any benefit to them in terms of payment for what you use.

Ok, that's not going to help you. If you "dont wanna read a bunch of stuff" that can potentially help you then you should probably just not bother posting again.

You said:

i mean is there any way to use the 3g network without paying for it and with out having iphone

Which sounded like you meant that you wanted to use a pay service without paying for it. If that's not what you meant, then you need to learn to be more clear when you type things out.

I have heard of no 'free' 3G service out there.

Hi tuner1406, just to sum up what everyone is saying, is that you do need some type of data connection to send data from point A to point B. There are no free 3G networks as far as any of us are aware and hacking AT&T's network would be stealing, which we do not endorse in these forums and which I am sure when you look at it in the sense of stealing, you might not want to do it either due to the moral and ethical concerns.

Sorry about the "tone" in this thread. Sometimes we get people that are just trying to game the system and are malicious and other times we get people that really do not know and understand how things work which sounds like you might be in that camp. The first type of person is frustrating, the second type sometimes gets the frustration from the first type.

Again sorry about the tone of the thread and we hope you have lots more questions that we can help you with!

Cheers!

But when you signed up, you checked a little box that said you agreed to follow all of the rules for the forum.

If you are just going to post anything you want without reading the rules, don't be surprised if you attempt to log on one day and see something like this --

Im closing this thread since nothing more needs to be said. The original poster gets the point.
