WiFi without internet on a Southwest flight
I'm an Alaska (relatively) frequent flyer.  That airline offers a free "messaging" plan, that lets you send and receive messages on apps like iMessage, Facebook Messenger and Whatsapp.  Though, it somehow prevents images/attachments from coming through on those platforms.<p>I've always wondered how this is implemented technically, and if it might be possible to setup some kind of protocol/wrapper to send data that looks like it's being sent over those protocols, but offers access to other parts of the internet.
