Systems and methods for peer-to-peer data transfer

A system for transmitting data from a first mobile device to an end location in a peer-to-peer manner, the system comprising:

• the first mobile device, wherein the first mobile device comprises:
• a wireless radio, wherein the wireless radio is configured to transmit and receive data;
• a user input device;
• a display device;
• and
• a control circuit, wherein the control circuit is configured to:
• receive, via the user input device, a user command to transmit data;
• select, based on information received from an application executing on the first mobile device, the end location, wherein the end location is predicted to provide access to a wireless local area network, wherein the wireless local area network is communicatively coupled to a wide area network, and wherein the access to the wireless local area network is provided without requiring payment for use of the wireless local area network;
• transmit, via the wireless radio to other mobile devices, a discovery message;
• receive, from at least some of the other mobile devices, responses, wherein the responses include location information for the at least some of the other mobile devices;
• select, from the other mobile devices based on the end location and the location information for the at least some of the other mobile devices, a second mobile device;
• and
• transmit, to the second mobile device via the wireless radio, the data;
• and
• the second mobile device, wherein the second mobile device is configured to:
• select, based on the end location after receipt of the data from the first mobile device, a third mobile device;
• and
• transmit, to the third mobile device, the data.
