		justizin on May 13, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: iMessage purgatory frustrating, indeed. the short answer is, if you are in the know, and you switch from iphone to android, disable iMessage on your iPhone first. It would be great to see an interoperable solution replace iMessage, but for now, it is (purportedly) secure and often more reliable than text messaging. I still pay for an unlimited sms plan.

I just couldn't bring myself to be extorted 25 or 50 cents per text. Why is there no government investigation in to this? No class action?

I thank Apple for at least allowing me to text the majority of my friends for free.
