Is my iphone disabled forever?

I woke up this morning and tried to turn my iPhone on. It told me to write my passcode in and I wrote the passcode I've been using for the past two years. My passcode is only known by me and it is in the shape of the first letter of my first name , T. I tried it twice and both times it said it was incorrect. At first I thought it was a glitch so I reset my phone but it still didn't accept my passcode. I tried all other variations of my passcode and now my phone is disabled. There's no computer near me and my iPhone will no long connect to the Internet. Is there any other way to turn my iPhone on?

iPhone SE, iOS 11.3

No, sorry.

If you want to use that iphone again, follow the steps provided in this support guide:

If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

If you have a recent backup, you can then restore your data from that backup. If you don't have a backup, your data are gone.

If you don't have a computer, borrow one from your friends, or contact your most convenient Apple Store or Authorized Service Provider. They will help you to perform this operation:

Apple - Find Locations - Location Selector

If you enabled Find My iPhone on your phone and the phone has a cellular data connection, you can use that to erase the phone so you can set it back up again.
