Well, for Messenger to work you can only talk to people on the same social network.

Honestly, MMS/SMS, and email seem to work fine for me.

Though I am a little bummed that we're not all on an end-to-end encrypted XMPP standard communication by now...

You can casually install Facebook Messenger on your device. You can't casually have a second phone.
