I asked if people chose iPhone for the blue bubbles elsewhere a couple days ago, and while there was some good discourse on that post, the blue bubbles definitely also came up as a reason.
In my experience, when people find out my texts are green, they oftentimes would rather switch to a different platform altogether like Instagram or just not text at all.
Is this actually a deal-breaker in friendships out there?
Why would anyone send SMS?
SMS is far more reliable in rural conditions with marginal signal. Often I can’t make a call, but I can send and receive SMS. Fat chance I can get any data-driven messaging app to work. Also, with SMS I don’t have to worry about what the recipient is using - it always works.
What the hell is wrong with SMS?
It’s the default way to send messages, and it’s unlimited on my plan.
that’s the point. green bubbles are sms, blue bubbles are imessage…
The world would be a better place if everyone used Discord
