This is assuming that the chip and pin device is fitted with a sim card and has somewhere to connect to. Ours do not and are permanently offline.That's exactly the situation. The terminal will try to obtain authorisation if the chip data instructs it to, if there is insufficient signal to obtain authorisation it will decline the transaction.
