in the uk texts are usually free unlimited, and a majority of people have rcs (rich chat services) enabled which means they are end to end encrypted - and uncensorable. RCS is very similar to imessage in results, though it works in a different way.
RCS doesn't support encryption natively. Google only has proprietary encryption for Messages app.

Aha, there we go. I was trying to put "end to end encrypted" and "Google" together and it just would not compute.

AND there have been news that RCS can be blocked for rooted phones and custom operating systems!
RCS is Google so I wouldn't use it
