Let us know! I didn't even try to send a message with it when I downloaded it. I saw that it had no Google Voice integration and gave up. Maybe they'll combine the two, but then where does that leave Hangouts? Just VoIP/video calls and hangouts messages? I'm just not seeing how both can exist at this point in time...
I thought, back in the old days of texting, that you could put an email address in the to field on most phones (even when they were dumbphones).
I hope not. That'll turn it from an app I use every day to one that I just keep around for the rare occasion I need it.
Same thought here.....
I actually did like that aspect. Since it loaded the messages that I already had on the phone, I was able to check out the look. While I'm not a HUGE fan of every color they chose, the best thing for me was when I opened the group text between myself and the other board members of our community theater. Instead of having to rely on their pictures to know at a glance who was talking, each of them was a different color. That was slick, especially since I don't have a contact picture for all of them. (I thinned the herd on my Facebook account to only ACTUAL friends and family, though a few select online acquaintances made the cut as well.)
I'm actually trying to look more into this. So are you currently using your GV number for free unlimited texting, or will you be using your Verizon number now that they announced that GV MMS is now supported on Verizon? I downloaded the Hangouts Dialer to add GV functionality to Hangouts, but I'm still trying to figure out how to use my Verizon number for MMS. I'm thinking that this might require one to port their number to GV... and I'm not sure that I want to do that.
