What's wrong with email?
Email is not an instant messaging protocol.
SMS is not an instant messaging protocol either. Sometimes they arrive quickly, sometimes they don't arrive at all. :/
Yes, it is. It was always an instant messaging protocol. It may not have been called instant messaging, but that was its intended purpose.
The very first SMS was quite literally an instant message from one person to another, saying "Merry Christmas". In '92. Every Nokia device supported SMS by '93, and many more manufacturers were not far behind.
Occasional technical hiccups (e.g. not received) do not change the originally-intended function. I've had more issues sending/receiving RCS messages than SMS/MMS messages.
Delta Chat says hi.
