Some of my friends prefer FB message to SMS for some reason or another, and use it accordingly, so push is nice for that purpose.

I've started using FB messaging - I live in New York, in a basement, and frequently hang out in places with plenty of Wifi, but zero cell signal.

In that situation, I cannot send or receive SMS messages, but FB, etc., work just fine.

I use FB message to communicate with friends in other countries. I know there are other apps out there for it, but when we all have Facebook already, its easier that way.
