The Azan is an announcement of the prayer time's entry, not a condition for its validity. Therefore, it is permissible to perform the Iqama and offer the prayer without hearing the Azan from a device. It is recommended for a Muslim to make the Azan himself when the time for prayer enters, based on the of Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri that raising one's voice with the Azan will cause everything that hears it to bear witness for the Muezzin on the Day of Judgment. It is also advised to try and find those nearby to pray in congregation and cooperate in good deeds.
