If you're signed in in more than one place at once, Hangouts just doesn't know what to do. I was sending messages to a friend from my phone, but her replies were only showing up on my desktop!

> So you have to hope that the server you're talking to hosts the code that you're looking at. What could a malicious server do?

I would pay maybe £0.09 per SMS if I wasn't on contract. As it is, I am, but I still have to pay to get a delivery notification - that's £0.01 per message or £0.02 depending on your contract. I send maybe 100 messages per day on W

This isn't anything to do with security by obscurity. This is like putting a cover over the launch missiles button.
