> Nobody I know in the US uses WhatsApp > this is a problem and there are people that would like a solution The solution is literally downloading a free app and encouraging others to do the same. > this is still an annoying problem to me because much of my family and some of my friends use android Then why don't you start using Whatsapp with them? It's not like in Europe we were born with it, at some point someone told us "you are on Whatsapp, right? I'll message you there" and we downloaded the damn thing. Is it an internet connection issue? (In the sense that you need to always be able to fallback seamlessly to SMSes because the connection is spotty?)
