      Apple also intentionally made the green bubble contrast worse so that iPhone users would have eyestrain when conversing with non-iPhone users.

      I’m just surprised people aren’t fed up with how shit SMS (well, MMS, but I never want to hear about that again) is for anything other than text. It was always a fucking pain and just plain shit even if it weren’t.

          Really? Sent but not received, I guess? It seems like near any other method has things to show that you’ve sent it, that the server has received it, that the other user(s) received it, that they read it…

          And images are… Well, very limited indeed. And costly, if we’re talking MMS!

          To me, it’s definitely not the best choice - but I’m not in the states.

              You can usually turn those off. Not sure if you can turn them off for SMS, I remember text messages having those

                Farthest I’ve seen regular text messages go is received receipts. And that depends on the provider, some of them only return up to “sent”.

      we don’t have per-message charges in the US, so most people continue on using SMS for daily conversations.

      We don’t here in the UK either, but we still use data messaging for the most part. I use WhatsApp for my Android friends, iMessage for my iPhone friends, and it’s never a problem.
