Their claim that they dropped sms support because engineering costs causes me to question them.
There are free sms apps. Android handles SMS, an app just reads/writes the SMS database via an API.
It wasn't about sending SMS, it was about sending SMS securely, and whether this actually provided an improvement offer not offering it anymore. TextSecure came out when mobile data wasn't as prevalent. But times have changed
