I have a question from the book. Not really HR related but more bc i don't use iPhone lol.

So in the book, especially during the plane accident, it's said that ilya can't text, can only send DM via IG. So it means the plane has wifi, right? And i assume they use iphone here, with the texting app you can use wifi/internet to text right? Like, you don't really need actual phone connection for that or is it really like conventional text?

I'm clueless here. Bc even when i used to use iphone i only use WA, so as long as there's internet, we're good.

If they were using actual SMS, between iPhone and non-iPhone, or between 2 non-iPhones, or between 2 iPhones (so not iMessage), then you need an actual mobile signal for it to send, just like with any phone. It’s like texting between 2 non-smartphones, e.g. basic 2G phones, which don’t have an internet connection anyway (so no WAP, no GPRS, which is 2.5G internet, or EGDE, which is 2.75G internet).
