How did I send texts with my cell and Wi-Fi shut off? - 1

Added (1). I sent and received texts on my iPhone today, then realized my cell and Wi-Fi were off. What's going on? Was it sending over the telephone line? Have I been hacked by a Stingray device?

What do you mean your cell was off? Do you mean mobile data? Then obviously the messages were sent through SMS the old fashioned way, you know, they way they get sent when there was no mobile internet.

The only way you can turn your cell off is to put it in airplane mode which i doubt you did.

Maybe there was something wrong with your cell phone.

Sending msgs in mobile does not need internet

If your cell was off how did you see what you are typing?

If you are sending plain texts then you don't need data enabled!

You can log in to your carrier's website and do it using the console
