Though yes, I'm not North American so iMessage is just a non-issue to me. I don't know anyone who uses it. Anyone hardly uses SMS for actual messaging between people, everyone's SMS inbox is 95% OTP codes and various other automatic notifications. Literally everyone who I communicate with is reachable through Telegram.
