So unlimited texting isnt really A thing in other countries?

In some cases, but more saliently than that, unlimited *international* texting is very rarely a thing even for American phone plans, which means they need something like WhatsApp to keep in touch with family or friends in other countries. That's not really a thing for many native Americans or Canadians because it's significantly harder for us to travel to other countries than it is for just about anyone else (and at least in Canada, I know phone plans that include texts/calls to the US aren't uncommon, though it comes at a price), but for the many, many countries in the world where people can get to a new country with a 2-hour train ride, it's a lot more common for people to need to keep in touch across international borders. Wanting to use it for domestic communications as well is just a matter of trying to keep all of their communications in one place.
