Exactly. And, combined with the shared amount of texts/minutes (which IIRC for me was something like 100), actually calling people and wanting to text your friends you’d run out of texts very quick. WhatsApp was a godsend at the time.

This is another reason why I think the key to success is timing. Be the first to provide a service people need, and they’ll use it for a long time
