Heck, domestic SMS costs money for lots of people!

  That would be amazing to me in the US, I assumed everyone had unlimited SMS/MMS/within the US phone calls. I have not shopped for mobile plans in over a decade though.

    It varies by country. In Australia basically all phone plans have unlimited SMS but in places like south america and africa it seems common to charge huge rates for sms which is why whatsapp is so big over there.

      Unlimited SMS allowances are common in the UK, but people still use WhatsApp instead of SMS.

    It's probable that a large majority have domestic SMS for free/included-in-plan but most probably still have to pay for international SMS.
