I actually didn't have any plain SMS. I only have a couple of friends who don't have iPhones so they knew to use WhatsApp or Google's texting thing.

The one oddity I ran into- I bought a sim with 6 GB of data; no text or voice. When you get a new phone number, for iMessage to register it has to silently send out one SMS text to the iMessage servers. Once I found that out, I had to buy a text bundle for like $5 just to get it to work.
