I assume you're American? When you need to talk to people across borders you need something like WhatsApp. SMS doesn't cut it.

I'd rather use Signal but whatever.. I'm being practical. Everyone I know is on WhatsApp.

The moment when I hear someone talking about SMS it is almost always an American. Can’t recall the last time I sent a text message to someone like that, wouldn’t surprise me if it was 10 years ago (for context: am Dutch)

I send SM's to my kids when they're on the go, as they religiously disable gsm data and only use wifi, which means they regularly don't get my WhatsApp messages.

Before they got their own smartphone I was scared that their data plans would cost me an arm and a leg, but it turns out they're extremely stingy with their data 🤷‍♂️
