Push data from device to device?

Is it possible to push data directly from one device to another over the mobile network without using a server and without wifi or Bluetooth?

(Both have the same app installed.)

How? :)

Yes. Android is capable of peer to peer communication over 3G

Google for android 3G peer to peer and you will get many hits. And you'll see that you have some hurdles to overcome:

  • Identifying own and target Android's internet IP
  • Configuring the right sockets etc.
  • Getting past firewalls
  • And all this is depended on whether or not your telecomm provider allows P2P in the first place.
