Comment on Why does most of the world use WhatsApp as their messaging app rather than RCS/SMS?
remon@ani.social 1 day agoYes, they still cost money in most of Europe, which is why nobody uses them.
The only sms I’ve received in the last few years were roaming-infos, voice mail reminders and 2FA codes.

That’s crazy. Even pre-smartphone, there was always the argument that sms costs less than the effort to meter and bill for them …. And maybe that’s the entire difference between the is using sns/rcs, and Europe using WhatsApp
