That is true but depending on the carrier the date and time will not be correct
till the phone is activated[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

| If there is no cell service activated for the
phone then NTP will not kick in
on
android usually even if you connect via
wifi.
This post written on a
Samsung Moment
without cell service.
Full disclosure: it does have rounded
corners and the clock is wrong.

The date/time must be correct on a CDMA phone.
On a GSM phone, the date/time can be totally wrong and the phone will work just
fine. I had a GSM phone that would be off by 9 hours 15 minutes if you let the
carrier set its clock.
I have no idea what 3G/4G/LTE time requirements are.

Until the phone attaches to a carrier's network it will absolutely have the
wrong time and possibly the wrong date.
EG a GSM phone w/out SIM will have wrong time and date until a SIM is inserted.
Don't know how it works for CDMA phones.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

times are fairly consistently wrong and tower to tower
specific. They don't all use NTP. The specific accurate time
is not at all important - what's important is that the phone
and the tower agree on the same "time" from second to second.
Whether my phone thinks it's 12AM and the celltower thinks
it's 12PM is not only untrue, but irrelevant. Whether they
both agree the signal came at the same moment, matters.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
