What a workaround. SMS are not encrypted, cost money, have a length limit, don’t support images or groups...

    I think they charge for SMS pretty much anywhere outside the US.

      No one pays for SMS in France. And probably in most European countries.

      No its the other way around. Americans were still paying to receive phone calls when most other places were on unlimited SMS.

      My plan comes with unlimited SMS (Three in the UK).

        Only if the recipient is in the UK too

    Germany still pays for SMS, nobody here uses MMS because its so expensive.

    It's the reason why Whatsapp became so big in Europe.
