Some countries still charge for SMS. That's why WhatsApp is so popular in many places of the world.

There's basically two mobile worlds in India. The middle class has mobile plans basically like the rest of the world, while the poor (especially the rural poor but also to some extent the urban poor) have a pay-per-use account that also functions as their bank. So sending a text might cost 2 rupees, and an MMS might cost 6.
in a lot EU countries, still today telco contracts are marketed with "...and unlimited number of SMS into all networks..."
Its still widely used :-D
