You can use Whatsapp or other IMs though, which is what the rest of the world is doing. No one really uses SMS anymore

In the US, sure. In the rest of the world SMS is solely for human-machine communication - mostly one-time login codes.

Can confirm. The only SMS I ever receive is from bots (mostly OTP codes). I can't remember the last time I received an SMS from a human.

Exactly. I'm in EU, can't remember last time I used SMS. iMessage and Telegram, however, daily.
