That is what logging in means.
Please look up what the "Internet" means before continuing to make a fool
of yourself stating that a cell phone can't do text messaging without
entering a login and password into a server that is on the Internet.
The question was:
"What Android phone are you using which requires a login account?"
Do you see a word in there about "internet"?
And I have never said that the server to which you log in was on the internet.
The POINT is that to use a messaging service, you must authoritatively identify yourself to that service. It has to be authoritative because you don't want messages intended for you to be delivered to just anyone.
The fact that the method used to authoritatively identify yourself to your cellular provider is a SIM (Subscriber IDENTITY Module), doesn't change the fact that is essentially a login.
