Comment on Some Beeper users say Apple banned their Macs from iMessage

we don’t have per-message charges in the US, so most people continue on using SMS for daily conversations.

We don’t here in the UK either, but we still use data messaging for the most part. I use WhatsApp for my Android friends, iMessage for my iPhone friends, and it’s never a problem.

You don’t now. My understanding is that most of the UK did in the early years of cell phones, so everyone jumped off that bandwagon real fast and found something else collectively. That ended up being WhatsApp, which was unfortunately later acquired and predictably ruined by Facebook.

  Oh aye, back in the day we had a text allowance. My first contract allowed me 50 SMS per day, which felt like a lot until you actually started using them. But I’ve had functionally limitless - or actually limitless - SMS for probably twenty years at this point.
  
  I’m lucky if I send five a month, and most of those were intended to be iMessages that failed for whatever reason.
