    Saying it’s secure feeds their scam. At least we don’t pay for it like SMS.

      You still pay for SMS? Wtf, what country do you live in? Most postpaid mobile plans these days only charge for data usage. In which case, your still paying to use WhatsApp.

        Are you from the global south? Because it’s still a common thing for SMS to be chargeable in many countries. And no one should be using SMS anyway. It’s horribly insecure. At least use RCS.

          Pretty sure you don’t pay (aka they are included) for SMS in most (and everywhere within) Europe (except Switzerland ofc…).

            Yeah, that’s why I asked if they’re from the global south. Because most of the world do have to pay for SMS.

      I did not say it was secure, I actually spend a lot of time explaining to people that it is secure and they should switch to Signal. However, I will not tell them to go back to SMS for the reason aforementioned.
