In Europe, they kept this up even after most users had smartphones. And that's why WhatsApp is so successful there.
Same in many other places. Around 2015, I remember recharging with a prepaid package that gave me 100 messages/day. (I think it was like ₹10/day). I used to save from my lunch money so that I could text my then gf. Man, I was so happy when she finally got a smartphone.
