My new phone lets me be logged in to chat services 24/7. This means you can send me a chat instead of a text message and (a) it will show up at the same notification level, and (b) it will save me a dime (if I'm close to my text messages limit, anyway). It does not mean I have stopped doing any of those pesky things like sleeping that ever take me away from my keyboard, so don't fear if you send a chat message to what seems like it's me sitting at my computer in real time, but turns out to be me sitting across the house from my phone and paying no attention.
