Probably decent marketing... how many people didn't know beeper existed before this?
- MBCook 3y agoI think this whole saga is stupid, but you’re absolutely right. I had never heard of them before. Maybe they did get some users out of this who will use the non-iMessage parts of the service that already existed. However while I now know who they are might view of them is also tainted a bit because they made (what I see as) bad decisions. So at least in my case I’m not sure it’s that beneficial to them.
