I have tried to use signal in a location that had voice, but no data (a very old, very rural tower in the middle of nowhere) a few years ago, and signal was completely worthless. Even though it can read and receive SMS, it seems to require a data connection to send..


Yes, everything except voice and SMS requires data


Yes, that would be the case for any OTT messenger (so, anything but SMS).
