Comment on It's time to stop using SMS, here's why!

What human being has sent an SMS message in the last decade? Obviously I’m being a bit facetious, but seriously I don’t think I’ve sent a text since mobile internet stopped being pay-per-MB and the only ones I receive are automated.

My plan still is pay per MB. So yes, of course I use SMS. Besides, what alternative is there? No one has the same apps.

Wow, surprised anywhere still offers that. Is it normal for your country or just a particularly good deal for you?
Use any of the alternatives depending on who you need to message. Most of the people I want to message are on Signal and I still have WhatsApp for the rest.

My Ting plan is about $30 per month, unlimited talk and text for 2 phones and including the first block of data we usually need. Data is billed combined at something like $5 per GB, so we really prefer to say under 1GB which is the first block.
Yes, it is a good deal. Less than half what many people pay. I could afford to buy 10GB of data for the cost difference and that is typically the limit is on many “unlimited” plans.

Wow, that’s horribly expensive!
