It really is fricking useless though without full SMS.
I'll bring it up again...

Whatsapp has a billion users. No SMS. Useless?



I'm not saying Allo is great or it will get traction, but everybody hammering on it for no SMS are looking backwards IMO. SMS is fricking terrible. No read receipts, no text decoration or emojis for those into that sort of thing, group SMS is a "hack" that has never worked right. It is the worst possible platform for sending messages the way people do it today.
