[1] Although something like whatsapp may require a real phone  
number to register an account, your real phone number can  
remain private.  Not so much with the phone supplier's txt  
services.  [2] Plus.. txt service is completely in the clear.  
Not so much with some a messaging app.

Up until recently, I didn't know that some txt services offered  
file attachments.  So, that's a bonus for just using txt. But  
txt is still quite not-private.
