Another Owner has access? Have them invite your new phone or a phone you borrow.

If you're the only Owner and weren't signed in, contact LAAS Support. We'll verify you using information only you would know. There's then a six-hour security delay before access is reset.

No signal? No problem.

The last phone to connect to the lock while online can keep unlocking without internet. Unlock, ride into the woods, and use that same phone to get home.

A phone that has not connected to the lock yet needs internet first.
