I haven't for many years, for sending (except for one time I wanted to test a modem driver SMS function). I regularly use Signal, Telegram and Google chat and used to use whatsapp until it was banned by my employer but the only time I ever use SMS is to receive automatic authorisation SMSs

My workplace uses SMS. There are also many people in the US who do not carry smartphones, either. So at least here it is still very much in use.
