I asked if people chose iPhone for the blue bubbles elsewhere a couple days ago, and while there was some good discourse on that post, the blue bubbles definitely also came up as a reason.

In my experience, when people find out my texts are green, they oftentimes would rather switch to a different platform altogether like Instagram or just not text at all.

Is this actually a deal-breaker in friendships out there?

    This is exactly why I’ll never buy from Apple, the first problem in addition to the horrible contrast is intentionally caused by them so you will think other services are inferior. Either that or it’s your cell provider, I’ve been able to text and call over Wi-Fi for years.

    Google FI also works with networks from all over the world for no extra cost so that’s really nice for international travel.

      What? I only said SMS is inferior to everything. Whether it’s googles latest chat, WhatsApp or iMessage I don’t care. Just no SMS.
