Most of the world doesn’t use SMS, they use WhatsApp. Plus, SMS is even worse than WhatsApp for privacy and security. And stopping using WhatsApp in most of the world is like not using email, so no “I don’t have WhatsApp, you can only contact me through signal” is possible.
I don’t just mean socially speaking. But for contacting services and stuff. My car insurance company only accepts reports through Whatsapp or through calling a guy to come look at your face for a fee.

It’s certainly possible. It annoys some people, but that’s life.

So there is an alternative. There has to be.
That’s always the problem with monopolies and big corporations. They make it harder for you as an individual to use alternatives.
