I once spend several euros sms-ing instead of what I thought was Signal-ing with someone in another country. Since then I keep the two strictly in 2 different apps.

I certainly wont mourn for this. Sms gets super expensive to other countries (outside the EU), it also gets super expensive when you don't pre-pay for a bundle (it's 2 eur for 1000 messages, then 25ct per message after that, ridiculous). Imho dutch carriers did everything they could to kill sms, and now I'm happy for it. The only bad thing is that my society at large seems to have chosen Whatsapp as it's replacement...
