    i mean sms messages are extremely expensive and when you need to contact someone over sms rcs can be a life saver

      I didn’t know you could even get a phone subscription without unlimited calls, sms, and mms anymore.

      After a bit of looking I couldn’t find any subscription without it.

        I actually have a dirt cheap $15/mo Public Mobile Canada plan that has 250MB data and 100 minutes… and even that has unlimited SMS.

            It’s literally the cheapest plan I can find anywhere that includes any data. I can get $8/mo for unlimited talk and text but zero data.

        well I’m in ukraine, don’t know anything about us.
        yeah, all plans have unlimited calls (within the same carrier) but not sms (which usually cost around 2 cents/message) here
        sms is basically dead anyway… (it’s basically just a confirmation code delivery system)

          That’s so strange! Here in the US lots of people still use sms, and it’s free/included unlimited in all the plans. I have heard previously other countries like in Asia and stuff, don’t really use sms either though, so that’s interesting to me…
