The transport makes a big difference.

The transport makes a big difference. Is it going to stop working as soon as I cross the Canadian border? Is there a per-message fee if I am communicating with someone in another country? Is it going to stop working if my phone is connected to wifi and the router is broken or misconfigured, like it is at the coffee shop down the block from my house? It's one thing to send an email, another thing to send a text, and another thing to use some proprietary messaging protocol, even if all three can be initiated by poking at the same device in slightly different ways, and I want to know which one I'm using so I can pick the right one for the situation.
