Verizon Messages Service & App

**JustMe'D** · 03-22-2013, 09:47 PM

Has anyone tried the Verizon Messages app yet? Personally, I think it is a little late to the game and I don't see a real advantage being that a majority of data plans now include unlimited text messages.

meh... I've never been one for SMS messaging... I'll email... or even call. I never used BBM back when I had a BB either...

I do quite a bit of texting, mainly because I have a 23-year old son in Orlando and two teens her in NC and all three would rather text than call. In regard to BBM, I used it a lot when I worked at City Hall mainly because those messages didn't show up on the City's servers and it was politically feasible to use at that time....

I downloaded it to my android tab just to try it out. So far it's ok.

Hmm so this is basically iMessage but with your number and cross platform

Yes, it is an iMessage-like feature that only uses your cell number and is cross-platform.

I tried it, but was unable to receive texts to my iPad.

Don't really see much use for this for me. Everyone I talk to has iPhones, with the exception of a few business contacts with BlackBerry.
