However, even if unpopular, every cell phone does support SMS 
out-of-the-box. There are many more people who are capable of sending 
and receiving SMS in case of need, then there are users of any other 
messaging platform.

Except for three major disadvantages:

1. Sender and receiver must use the same app. Most people will need 
multiple messenger apps to reach all of their friends and relatives, and 
even that will not be enough to reach every person which may pop up when 
doing business.

2. To be able to receive urgent messages, you need a permanently 
available, mobile internet connection. This can get VERY expensive when 
traveling, especially if you use an ad-supported platform, which 
constantly transfers a lot of unnecessary data.

3. The most popular messaging app happens to be a security and privacy 
risk due to extensive tracking and a controversial owner.
