It depends on the country. Some places you have to pay per SMS, some places it's free. SMS cannot be sent across borders, a big problem when traveling or living abroad.

WhatsApp is free SMS, from and to anywhere. It's an attractive offer for most of the world.

And you'll be charged as much as $1 per SMS for doing that.
