    Even in USA nobody ever SMS me. Messenger and insta are primary with WhatsApp and signal sometimes being relevant and wechat for the Chinese community.

      Crazy, most people use SMS with Messenger as the go to for big groups for me (in USA). No one I know uses WhatsApp

            Mobile plans as standard here (in the UK) offer SMS for free, can’t remember when they used to routinely charge tbh. But I think I only text my dad as he’s very old school, everyone else is Signal/WhatsApp/Telegram

        It’s the same for me in Australia. Millenials and older use Messenger or SMS while Gen Z and younger use Instagram or Snapchat.
