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.
