Not quite. He needs to communicate with everyone, even folks who don't have WhatsApp installed. Not many of them, but they do exist in Brazil.

Either way, it's not going to be an expensive iPhone with iMessages is it?

My point is that iMessages is not "better". It depends on the use case, and cost is sometimes a factor in deciding which solution is the "best".
