    If you told someone in Europe you were going to txt them they would think you were weird

    “What you don’t have whatsapp? It’s literally free”

    Europeans don’t text, they use messenger apps, mostly WhatsApp

      It really depends on the country. SMS is still commonly used in France for instance.

      True but only if you really specify “SMS”, because if you just say “I’ll text you” they’ll just assume that means WhatsApp/messenger.
