SMS is hard to have on multiple devices and it is hell of a work to become SMS provider. Internet based messaging is better in a every single way.

Even the network range is now not an advantage, as 3G is shutting down in many regions.

I don't disagree, but that wasn't my point. Everyone has access to SMS messaging. Not everyone has an internet-based messaging app, and those who do are split among several different services.
