Right but what I'm saying is: this is not indicated when it's presented to you. And worse, it's not clear how it interacts - i.e. does TextSecure send an SMS with a hash to find the real message, or does it check if both devices are online (I now know its the latter).

But there's no way to tell at the most important moment - when this new thing is being put in front of me, and claiming to do things with a service that has a usage charge to me.

It would be much better if SMS defaulted to off, it was made clear what it was, and SMS Push added as a "would you like to?" option instead.
