Absolutely! Like I said, other protocols have their own beneft, and that's a huge one. It's why SMS for me is limited to really bland stuff when I can't get data signal in a store. Even that, I tend to keep my phone off in stores, but when you're doing "emergency" shopping for someone else, you kinda have to give up a little personal preference

Yeah, it's an excellent fallback due to its ubiquity.
