It's because SMS works without data.

I doubt that most of the people that complain about SMS live in rural areas. It seems to be more of a US thing. The country is so large that unless you live in a city you just won't be able to get data reliably. This leaves SMS as the only form of phone communication that isn't a voice call.

Agree, SMS just work, everywhere and always, with every mobile phone.
