Whatsapp is an under-appreciated app, whatever platform you choose to run it on. I only discovered it after spending a lot of time in Spain recently. It is very popular here (Spain) because SMS texting is quite expensive and so many people have very little money (>20% unemployment).
It has some neat features, like being able to set up groups of users, which any member can use to broadcast to the others. Great for things like: "we're off to the beach - anyone want to meet up in an hour at.... " :-)
I am hardly sending any classic and. We are always joking, when somebody gets a vintage, expensive reeeaaal sms.
Actually, not very often ;-)
There are reliability issues, however. But you get what you pay for...
