Hi,
I am using nowSMS connected to an android phone via wifi. I am planning to use this system in a location where I will not have internet access. My understanding is that as long as the PC and android phone can connect to each other via a wifi hub then the system will work as needed. Just want confirmation that this will work. to summarize


android phone <-> wifi hub (not connected to internet) <-> pc running nowSMS

Thanks
Greg

Hi Greg,

That is correct. Internet is not required, it can be a private wifi network without external connectivity.

Hi Greg,

A wifi router would be the easy way to do it.

Enabling personal hotspot on the phone might be an alternative, but I don't know how reliable that would be...whether or not it will stay active over time...and you probably don't want the PC using any mobile data.

Enabling connection sharing on the Windows PC is another idea, but I don't know if that works when the Ethernet link is down. See http://lifehacker.com/turn-a-windows-8-1-pc-into-a-wi-fi-hotspot-with-the-com-15 93327340 if you are interested in trying.

A wifi router with a disconnected internet cable is the easy way, and I know that is reliable.
