    we don’t have per-message charges in the US, so most people continue on using SMS for daily conversations.

    We don’t here in the UK either, but we still use data messaging for the most part. I use WhatsApp for my Android friends, iMessage for my iPhone friends, and it’s never a problem.

        Oh aye, back in the day we had a text allowance. My first contract allowed me 50 SMS per day, which felt like a lot until you actually started using them. But I’ve had functionally limitless - or actually limitless - SMS for probably twenty years at this point.

        I’m lucky if I send five a month, and most of those were intended to be iMessages that failed for whatever reason.
