- nerdjon 3y agoInteresting, did you not have unlimited texting? I feel like unlimited texting was standard here since 2007 at least.
- paddez 3y agoIf my memory recalls correct, in Ireland, Pay-as-you-go was relatively popular for a number of different demographics. Most networks implemented some kind of Top up €20, get 200 free minutes, 200 free texts, unlimited same-network texts, and X GB of data for the month. WhatsApp came in, which meant that that all networks could now talk to each other using the Data allowance for free, essentially - which I think convinced people to use WhatsApp rather than dwindle down their network text quota.
