United States too. Same feeling that most messages are iMessage or SMS. But as one of two extended family members with Android against ~10 with iPhones, for me iMessages are pretty horrible.

not just android, they work with every mobile handset even with the poorest reception or (even lack of) data-plan.

i use ~200 sms per year, pretty constant since i got my first mobilephone.

kinda sad we didnt come up with something better thou.
