I live on Island and find most available wifi to meet expectations for texting, mail etc. I have iPhone, do use FaceTime over wifi, text via wif and Pinger for textingi. My teen Grandchildren have never complained while visiting. They seem to have no trouble staying in touch with friends. They even post pics on Instagram while waiting for meals. Although, I have told them that they probably wouldn't die if they were out of touch for 1 week lol.
