My comms are mostly SMSs too, but the reason is that people were leaving GTalk and getting into propietary networks like Whatscrapp et al.

For me, Whatscrapp has increased my phone bill... because I am forced to send more SMSs now.

Yeah, like Apple. I am still waiting for the iMessages protocol, which they promised to open in one WWDC loooong ago.

It will never happen.
