- scott_karana 11y agoSo why aren't they shuttering Google Voice, where people use up millions of hours of speech and SMS every day? I'm sure Calendar SMSes pale in comparison.
- blister 11y agoText messages are largely free, and Google has been operating as a carrier through Google Voice for years. I don't think they're deprecating SMS because of cost issues, I think they just want to move forward with richer notifications and don't want to spend any time working with a legacy system.
- geogriffin 11y agoThey're definitely not free for businesses, especially worldwide. Thus why twilio is a business. Expect to pay maybe $0.03 a message. I'm not sure how that compares to advertising revenue..
