Yeah, but data is expensive as hell in Germany.

Finland has the same + unlimited data. If I remember correctly mine has up to 150Mbps 4G (which never happens where I live), unlimited calls and sms’s for 18ish €/month.

Same in Austria, but don’t you guys still have ridiculous prices per GB of data?
Prking@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The UK, you can easily get unlimited calls, SMS and data for £20 and even lower if there’s a promotion on. eg six months half price. I get it for £18 a month.

What are you talking about. Your country isn’t an example of all europe.
In France the prices are extremely low for pretty much unlimited sms.
In other countries too. There are however disparities between countries and their prices.

No. We’re not using SMS because SMS is absolute garbage

You’re confusing cause and effect, messages get dropped from plans as there isn’t demand for them. It’s not that people wish they could send crap messages (instead of whatsapp/signal/telegram) but they dont have them on a phone contract.

What provider is that? The yellow makes me think of Fastweb. Weird. I’m using ho. and I’ve had unlimited SMS for years now.
Anyway, SMS is a trash and outdated technology and that’s the only reason why it’s not used. Have you ever reached your monthly cap for SMS any time after 2010?

Why spreading misinformation?

They moved to WhatsApp long ago.

What’s true in Italy isn’t true for the rest of Europe. Most people don’t use SMS because they already pay for data and Signal/Whatsapp/Matrix/Telegram do messaging better than SMS.

Don’t forget Google RCS. A lot of people doesn’t even realize they’re using it.

I think that’s the first Italian plan I’ve ever seen in years without unlimited SMS lol. Not that it makes any difference, no one uses it anyway.
