Ontario residents must choose to give up SMS capability if they want to use WhatsApp.
This is totally not the case in Alberta anyways. SMS operates in conjunction with WhatsApp with no problem.
This restriction is totally unfair and appears only to be a terror tactic implemented by Rogers(not sure about other providers).
WhatsApp is international and 100% free.
This is a totally unfair practice implemented to force people to use SMS and of course be charged for it.
SMS or WhatApp in Ontario
