There is a question that needs answering and we are willing to pay a small $20 fee to the right person that can answer it and proved document proof of their answer as well point us in the right direction to demonstrate such a solution. You MUST read the project and reply back specifically that you not only understand the question but state clearly why you know you have the right answer. Any other response will be seen as a robot/automated generic reply to our project request.

We were recently given a mobile device like an ipod, iphone or other smart phone that had an app installed on it. The device DID NOT have a mobile data plan, nor was it connected to our any other Wifi during use. However, the app was able to send “Push” notifications as well as survey questions to the device. We would like to know how is this possible when the device had ZERO access to any cellular carrier’s data plan or Wifi? Or are we missing something?

Any experts in the area are free to bid if they can answer. As we honestly would just like to know how this is possible or if there was some hidden cellular network running in the background although we could not find it. Furthermore, the person given us the device stated there was no need for a cellular connection or Wifi and that the app would function properly even if we were below ground in a cave or traveling around the world. And to their credit, the app did send the push notifications during the specific times with the ability to pull up questions as well as save and submit the answers back.

I am truly looking forward to the responses to this question.
