Smartphones are sold with telco plans to provide a means for making a phone call, but when the plan stops works for some reason the devices are still capable computing machines with a camera on storage that can communicate with other channels.
Context
You don't need a wireless provider to text with WhatsApp, just an internet connection. The platform is free to use, making it cost-effective. WhatsApp is popular internationally, especially in Europe, so if you're trying to communicate with people abroad, you may find them more accessible using WhatsApp. (2022-12-21)
