I like how you word this in the past tense, it still happens to this day. I live outside the states but keep a google voice number and in my family's group chat I still get these all the time. I've mostly (miraculously) moved them to Signal, but they revert to their SMS ways occasionally.

- tracker1 2y agoWhich is a shame... I think when Hangouts had GV and SMS integration in a single app, that was probably the pinnacle of usage for power user messaging. It's all been down hill since then. Going back to the separate GV app has mostly sucked, and still stagnating. Google should really give a bit of credit (bonus levels) for advancing and maintaining existing applications. Their motivation structure is backwards.
