Here in South Europe people mostly use Viber. Edit: I was very unaware about situation in Southern Europe as I've learned from this post... Most people in Croatia use Viber!

SMS text messaging unless it's a group chat/voice call for gaming, in which case it's Discord.

Really? People pay for short, unencrypted messages that can barely handle accented characters, let alone media, when there are free alternatives that are much better in the vast majority of scenarios?

Or is free sms a common thing in people's phone plans?

Almost all phone plans have unlimited texting. Or at least it seems that way.
