@lyrial @boghan I recognize two factors:
1. Not wanting other passengers on the bus or train to hear your business.
2. Generation X grew up with landlines, which in the USA were unmetered for local calls. Mobile phones, by contrast, required subscribers at both ends to pay per minute and per message for airtime, which led to arbitrage using messaging apps that run over Wi-Fi or cheaper Internet data.

I've got a curious problem with #SMS #TextMessaging on #FOSS #Android:

QKSMS/QUIK does absolutely everything I need (except for RCS), but can't send #MMS attachments larger than 300KB. It just fails instantly. It compresses them automatically if I turn that setting on, but 300KB JPEGs are pretty potatoey.
The #AOSP Messaging app handles images over 1 MiB with no issues whatsoever. But it doesn't have a search feature, which I need.

#Fossify SMS just drains my battery.
