    I think that may have changed a couple months ago when Greg got a smartphone. Or are there others who still need the SMS option?

    I think there's a point where ties simply have to be severed. T-mobile offers unlimited smartphone data and text plus 100 minutes for $30 a month. We can't make it any easier.
  • The problem with Google Hangout is that the hangout is not tied to the event. It's just a live chat with some set of people. It's not a PAX Prime 2013 chat that I can enter and leave at will.
  • Honestly, I agree with George. Also, consider that at Anime Boston, which I'd consider a fairly large representation of the Forum community, literally everyone was using the app, not SMS.

    You can leave Google Hangouts.

    Can I rejoin? Can I stay in the hangout, but disable notifications for it while keeping notifications enabled for other hangouts?
