I wish I could.
I’ve tried for years to get people over to things like XMPP, which is cross platform since, well, forever.
No dice.

It’s the most common way to contact people in the US

I see. In Europe, everyone’s on Whatsapp, Telegram or even Signal, nobody uses sms :)

I’ll call that an incorrect and generalizing statement. The adaptation of these apps differs a lot from country to country, and SMS is definitely not dead yet. Beside people still texting, it’s also being used for verification codes, order confirmations, postal tracking notices, scamming, phishing and so much more!

Most of my personal communication goes through Signal, but I still get a ton of SMS messages.
25% spam 40% scams 30% one time passwords for shitty sites/apps that don’t support better 2FA options 5% iPhone users who refuse to install Signal
Real useful stuff…
