Nobody answers SMS here. It is fucking expensive for a fucking message.

Even 2FA is now over WhatsApp.

I don't think any providers charge for SMS anymore. Or at least you get enough free ones that nobody ever hits the cap.

Because everybody uses Whatsapp instead, so it's not even worth trying to monetize the residual usage. It's like email, only automated communications use it, so you're better off only charging government agencies and companies who are the only ones using it.

We are still paying for each SMS. Not talking about America.

Me neither :)

Of course there are more than two countries in the world, so it's entirely possible to have different pricing structures anyway.
