I really don't understand why people want to tie their messaging to their mobile service provider. This seems best as two jobs for two companies. Then I can switch either at will.
1. Mobile internet access.
2. Messaging.
- dpkirchner 2y agoI think it comes down to the fact that every mobile phone supports at least SMS if not RCS out of the box -- no new apps, no signing up for new services, etc.
- JohnFen 2y agoThis. The thing I (in the US) really like about SMS is that everybody can do it. With apps, I'd have to have a number of different ones and remember who is using which one. It seems like a huge pain in the butt to me.
- lern_too_spel 2y agoFor the same reason they tie their phone calling to their mobile service provider. I don't like tying communications to phone numbers either because that means you need phone service to communicate, but that ship has sailed, and there are many people who barely use email at all.
