Has anybody tried to use SMS again to get away from WhatsApp and other big tech messaging services?
I mean I have dozens of free SMS per month that I never use because nobody else uses it anymore (except for all the confirmation codes from a gazillion services).
No need to convince people of yet another new messaging app that is allegedly more open and free (or not), just use what is already there, anyway?
