I really like the Nexus 4 and will probably be purchasing it when it comes out. In preparation, I was wondering what kind of cross-platform messaging apps you guys use. Currently, I use Google Voice so I can text from my computer, my Nexus 7 and my Moto Triumph seamlessly, however, the lack of multimedia messaging support is annoying me. Also, with Google Voice, the app doesn't always seem to get the push notifications when I receive a text message. I like GV but I am looking for an alternative that will allow me to handle pictures and things of that ilk.
I've seen the Pingme and WhatsApp messenger apps, but everyone else I know has iPhones and refuses to install these apps. Also, I have a Facebook, but I would like to avoid using that to send my messages if possible, especially because I find that many of my friends do not respond as quickly via Facebook Messenger. If you use these kind of apps, how do you convince your friends to install it on their phones?
