I'm not surprised, that is a very strange arrangement and the conversation sounds nuts from the outside looking in.

Maybe start caveating it with "for those of us in North America" or something. From over here it really sounds like you guys are mashing random keys on your keyboard.

For the record, while SMS still being paid above a certain number was a factor, we were already vastly defaulting to messaging apps before Whatsapp took over. It wasn't rare to give people your MSN Messenger info rather than your phone number even during the feature phone era. Texting was always more of a commercial thing and for finding people in the street rather than a thing to have long chats.
