The onus is upon him to force all his friends, family and other contacts to switch? That doesn't seem reasonable.
seriously, how hard is it to ask your mum to install a single app so you don't have to pay to message her? what will that take like 5 seconds?
i have plenty of friends overseas who use ios and we message just fine. surprisingly they didn't defriend me when i requested they install an app we can both use.
wtf sort of shitty friends and family do you have??
I find it intriguing that you're only just now discovering the challenge facing many smartphone users in the United States, where the use of iMessage is dominant.
The problem isn't with 1:1 chats, but with being excluded from group chats. If everybody is chatting on iMessage, I'm sure you can find the challenge in getting everybody to use your preferred alternative.
