    I wonder if France had cheaper SMS rates in the early 2000s because that was the big driver of WhatsApp. I have to admit though in my experience I don’t think I know of any situation where someone from France has ever used anything other than WhatsApp. I would hate it if they texted me because then it wouldn’t auto translate.

      Standard mobile plans in France have included unlimited SMS since the mid 2000s I’d say. People still use it, but WhatsApp/Messenger are pretty popular too.
