And, of course, t-mobile will only support it on phones they sell in their stores. Which are all too big for people with hand problems like me. Can Google bypass the carrier on this, or can you only do that with something like a google voice number? All the other features aside, being able to receive text messages in my office that has no cell service would sure be nice. Moreso if it integrates with Signal so at the least I actually get messages from my iPhone wielding friends with only Apple chat clients when I have connectivity to the internet.
