    What human being has sent an SMS message in the last decade? Obviously I’m being a bit facetious, but seriously I don’t think I’ve sent a text since mobile internet stopped being pay-per-MB and the only ones I receive are automated.

      My plan still is pay per MB (well maybe per GB). So yes, of course I use SMS. Besides, what alternative is there? No one has the same apps.

        Wow, surprised anywhere still offers that. Is it normal for your country or just a particularly good deal for you?

        Use any of the alternatives depending on who you need to message. Most of the people I want to message are on Signal and I still have WhatsApp for the rest.
