During the whole series and visual novel I don't think it is ever mentionned
if you need network on this phone to send a message or not. In the story the
phone attached to the microwave is used as a relay to send a D-Mail, so it
needs network to receive messages. However what would happen if the d-mail was
sent directly from the original phone without network? We know that SERN is
able to intercept D-mails thanks to their network monitoring but it doesn't
mean that D-mails originally come from the mobile phone network. It's just
there when it arrives in the past.

question
steins-gate
Does the phone attached on the microwave need network to send D-mails in the past in Steins Gate?


I think the D-mail actually alters the timeline into the one that has received
the message. It doesn't send at that present time but it is sent in the past.

The sending of the message actually becomes the change between the timelines.

But this makes me wonder how the pager thing worked? Different timelines,
different technologies. I mean what was the sender number in that message
received by the pager? Is that really possible?

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

EDIT : (after OP comment) The answer is NO,the D-mail does not require network
to be sent.
