      While I hate the dominance of WhatsApp in Europe, at least we hardly use SMS anymore. What’s up with that in the US?

        Why is it that WhatsApp is so big in Europe? My dad is European but lives in Mexico. Only way to get through to him when he’s in Mexico seems to be through WhatsApp.

        In the USA, I think the majority of people that use WhatsApp just use it for international purposes even though there is no rate difference sending a text via SMS.
