Why something with 'voice' in the name supports any sort of text messaging at all is dumbfounding to me.

Why something called 'phone' has a map, a tv, a calendar, an internet browser, and a bunch of games built in at all is dumbfounding to me.

Yet that is the world we live in. Phones are expected to have all these features and phone numbers are expected to be able to accept text messages.

Just two weeks ago I wasted an hour waiting for my friends because GV silently dropped MMS multi-person chat messages sent to me. Not ok.
