    Centralized or not, it’s a massive improvement over basic SMS/MMS.

    Edit: at least the concept is. Implementation aside, it’s crazy that there isn’t a cross-platform texting option that has more modern capabilities than what we’ve been using for the past couple decades.

      I’m not sure anyone uses SMS to chat anyway.

      *Cough*, *cough*. Man, it’s freezing outside.
