Technically, I do as well, but it's baked into my cell phone bill. I think I get something like 10,000 SMS messages/mo without incurring an extra charge, and the extra charge if I go over is small.
you can still buy lots of sms for cheap, and free sms plans(i think i have) but they aren't included because nobody uses them, i not read sms who isn't from 2fa in more than 7 years, it is publicity, scams, and miss calls.
"i not read sms who isn't from 2fa in more than 7 years, it is publicity, scams, and miss calls."
Funnily enough the volume of scam calls and txt that I receive via WhatsApp is why I have it disabled.
The only reason I ever use it is because we sometimes need cross platform group messaging to organise plans with other families or school groups, then I delete the app again
Woah. I knew there were still places that charged for or metered SMS use, but I had no idea that the restrictions were that severe.
