In response to "If he's going to have a full device, why not use SMS/iMessage?" by spamlet

We're going to activate on Tracfone so he'll have limited data and voice minutes.

Hangouts works over wifi. SMS doesn't, but I imagine iMessage does. And, if I remember correctly, iMessage usurps SMS the same way Hangouts does. But I prefer being on the Google eco-system rather than the Apple one.

You are correct on iMessage. If you both have iOS devices, I don't know why you'd add a third complication to it rather than using the native app? -- nm - spamlet Sep 8, 15:25 1
- I'm not in the Apple eco-system, and the way Google Hangouts permeates everything is pretty slick. -- nm - Mop Sep 8, 15:46
