I hate password rules

I guess you don't travel much. it's very common to have internet but not cell service (so no SMS). it's also common to buy a local sim so effectively no SMS or at least not the one you have registered.

So no, SMS is not perfectly good. it's crap and needs to die in a fire.

I used to travel a lot and the exact combination of no signal and internet was not frequent at all.

That heavily depends on where you travel. Even here in Southern California there are populated areas with little to no mobile internet service (like Big Bear Lake, Anza Borrego, or Joshua Tree areas for example)

And they still have internet available to travelers?

I've had wifi at the hotel/motel/lodge but no cell service before.

The other part was under another mobile system, say in another country. Can calls/texts find your phone today overseas at a reasonable price?

I know that frequencies are different in some parts.
