I was stubborn at first, but some messages would get sent out of order or dropped altogether, and finally I succumbed to the pressure.
> Apple/Google text message incompatibility
?
SMS works. I think you meant iMessage, didn’t you? That’s not a messaging incompatibility. That’s just a messaging platform that is only supposed to work on Apple devices nowhere else.
I assume you’re from USA (because nowhere else I’ve known people to universally adopt a messaging platform that works only one kind of hardware). You know there are and where messaging options that don’t even discriminate based on what OS you’re from.
Really? Is this a common thing?
I have known Americans who would mock Android users as being "poor", because they don't want to use an iPhone.
Americans can be complete dicks to each other over the silliest things.
