This is in France, where text messages were free (unlimited with your subscription) long ago before we had internet on our smartphone.
Thus people use text message a lot and did use WhatsApp only to contact people outside from France
- jorislacance 5y agoNot in France actually, we mainly use WhatsApp as a main message app; nobody uses SMS nowadays
- seszett 5y agoWell I do use SMS, as well as my friends and family in France. I use WhatsApp with Belgians (I live in Belgium) because SMS's are not free for them, and also for sharing photos because MMS is a mess.
- jorislacance 5y agotrue, my point is more about the tendency of using groups of people to quickly share. Which SMS does not do properly.
- Jiejeing 5y agoText messages were around €0.10 for most plans until 2012 though (due to the unlawful collusion of telcos).
