How do you send a message to someone's phone number, then? Or do you somehow not use phone numbers anymore?

We mostly use Whatsapp or Signal, which both use phone numbers for account identification/verification.

I am surprised again and again how different the US and Europa are in this respect, and even more about how little people are aware of that. Nobody uses iMessage outside of the US, and the UI of Whatsapp/Signal/Telegram are arguably much better.
