Hmm, that’s interesting. Why is there no unlimited texting?

Here in Italy lots of plans actually stopped offering unlimited SMS because nobody uses them anymore. I think I must have sent less than 10 SMS in the last 5 years or so.
SMS is the backup if all of the data using messengers fail. They generally don't.

In Romania everyone is on Whatsapp. It has basically replaced text messages.

Actually, any widespread messaging app is better than the original text messages. And don't even get me started on MMS.
