It's the natural evolution of SMS. And SMS does what no messaging app does, it lets me send a text message to any mobile number without having to wonder whether the other party has installed the same app as me.

When I make phone calls, it's between me, the person I'm calling and our carriers. I want it to be the same for text messages.
