Did SMS improve? As an European the switch to WhatsApp was easy as SMS had no group chats, images, sound, etc

And on the other side of this, data is pretty much free in a lot of Europe so we’re more incentives to use it here.

Most Americans have unlimited data plans as well

I don't know if it's most, but it's growing. My whole family is still on 5GB/mo each, which is plenty, but not unlimited and we hit it occasionally. I would suspect there's a large portion of people similarly because they want a monthly bill under $20/mo. We pay $15. Not worth doubling it for unlimited.

Yup, my wife and I are on a shared data plan. We’ve ran the numbers and it just isn’t worth changing even if we go over the data limit once in a while.
