It's different over here (at least in Germany). Unlimited texting is available, but only with higher-priced plans, so for many years kids didn't have that. Internet-based texting (like WhatsApp, iMessage, ...) was/is a good alternative for them. Actually, the amount of texts being transported daily in Germany is currently on a steep decline (2012: 162.9m, 2013: 101.3m, 2014 (est. as of end of October): 73.8m), all due to increasing usage of messengers. > In the USA, almost everyone (not everyone, but lots of people) have > unlimited texting, so, there's no need for Internet texting, which is > what WhatsApp is, I think. It is more than that, it can e.g. easily (and without extra costs) send pics, sounds, videos, ...
