      Agree, In my country they will shut down MMS because there is no benefit against all the other chat apps.

        Because mobile providers charge by the message for MMS. It’s not like there’s no benefit to being able to just message people who don’t have InsertAppName, it’s just that actually using your phone’s normal texting app is ridiculously expensive.

          I think this plus RCS, would avoid the network charges, and Google’s trying to create some iMessage competitor.

          But yeah in this day and age nobody uses the SMS system…
