Sometimes text is the fastest way to reach some people
No it's not helpful... but texts lacks security and reliability in general. The worldwide implementation of SMS all depends on each carrier and it can be that the carrier in Belarus just doesn't like the free texts coming from Canada, since many countries in the world charge an arm-and-a-leg for texts.
As a suggestion, Signal, WhatsApp or Viber are excellent complimentary tools to texting. When you use Signal on an Android phone it can replace the provided Android texting app and works seamlessly with it - detecting if your contact is also using Signal and immediately sending free encrypted text messages through internet. When a contact doesn't have Signal installed it sends the message as a standard SMS instead. No signup or special usernames needed (although it does need to send you an SMS to confirm you control the phone number you register).
