You’re right it is very rare that it doesn’t arrive. But I’ve lost friendships or at least severely disrupted them the few times sms didn’t work. It’s not just that it didn’t arrive. In one case it was days late (yes, days). In that case, the delay turned the original message from a casual one into an insult.
