If you have an android phone yourself, maybe it's not actually SMS and it's actually RCS[1]?

And, in my experience, Android pushes you heavily to enable RCS; every time you open its messages app, there's a chance that it will randomly ask you to enable it, with a large button to enable and a small link to dismiss the dialog without enabling. I never tried, but I expect that once enabled, it'll never ask again, so it might have been enabled by accident sometime in the past.
