> And it’s weird how bad sms messaging on Google Voice is, still.

Messages get filtered more often by the carriers. Shows up to them as voip local numbers which is highest risk of spam. In any case it was bolted on almost as an afterthought.

I really think they only bump Google Voice client releases to revert the ‘use carrier only setting’ to ‘prefer data and wifi’, so Google saves a few pennies.
