Sending SMS is like using a fax at this point. It’s ridiculous to even consider doing it.
The state of messaging in the US is absurd and only explained by this kind of behavior. The rest of the world moved on from SMS over a decade ago and have zero issues communicating with people no matter what OS their device has.

these are just normal people who use their phones to call, text and play mahjong. that’s it.
I’m not going to hold a seminar and try to talk them all into an app they’d get no real use out of other than talking to just one person.
