It took less than a week for Beeper Mini to run into a wall.

    Exactly I don’t know a single person in Europe who uses or cares about iMessages. This is in the US only.

      I have seen some iphone users use it with some other iphone users. But it’s very rare.

      Curious, what are the most popular apps used?

        Literally everyone I know uses WhatsApp. It’s probably been over a decade since I last sent or received an actual SMS (except for 2FA codes).

          I’d rather not use a meta application just to send an SMS. I have WhatsApp but it’s only for communication with overseas relatives.

          With RCS I don’t see the appeal of WhatsApp

            And that mindset is why iMessage is popular in the US /shrug
