    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.

      It’s still the most reliable method of ensuring your messages are sent. And images are “fine”, so long as there aren’t any iPhones.

        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”.

          Sent and received.

          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…

          Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

          Also I always disable read receipts anyway.
