    @bigredjer If you want to text or talk using only Wi-Fi, you can use FaceTime on your iPhone or download an app like Skype, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, or Line. And if you need cell service internationally, you can temporarily swap out your Visible SIM for a local one. *AS

    If @delta / @Gogo added @twitter to the list of free messenger apps as part of its complimentary in-flight wifi service, it would be a game changer. Why FB messenger but not LinkedIn messenger? Do those use SMS base platforms? With whom do I speak about this?

    @talk2GLOBE we are getting out of options how to contact you just to resolve our issue. Your fb messenger customer service sucks and phone agents are closing our case without any call back. We paid our bill online twice 2/15 and only one reflected on our account.
