![]() I'm not sure if Facebook or Hangouts has the same functionality. I hope the new Allo has the same functionality. But if there is one thing the Apple guys got right (and there are many things they do well) it's the Imesage. Hey, Android folks love to bash Apple and vice versa. I never tried it from a Mac (I use Windows computers) but I would imagine it would have worked the same way.Īnd I didn't have to pay for extra hardware or a monthly fee to to this. Folks with dumb old phones (non smart) could also send and receive texts from my Ipad. ![]() Hey I don't mind that it was all tied to a cellular number.If I want to message folks that don't have phones I'll send them an email!Īnd it didn't have a huge clunky interface with all kinds of crazy extras and social media hookups and require other folks that wanted to communicate with me to have a specific app. Folks could text me on my Iphone, my Iphone could be turned off, and I would still receive and be able to respond on my Ipad - and my Ipad was WIFI only meaning not cellular. Only VoIP services, like Google Voice or Skype Out, let you text from any device without the need for a phone with a SIM card.In my opinion, Apple got it right! I used to be on IOS, prior to Android. Problem is you still need a valid phone with a valid SIM for iMessage to work with SMS. ![]() the part that they did right (and wrong, because a lot of people can't tell the two appart) is seamlessly merging that with SMS/MMS. Their iMessage is just like a Facebook Messenger or Hangouts.
