They did. 100 a month. I tried Mighty Text and that works fine, it was a little cumbersome.

Who is your carrier?

Not sure what either of you are talking about. I switched my phone to Android from iPhone and vise Versa many times. Once I do that nrgoing happens with messages. Works normally.

If you plan on having TWO active phones then yes that makes sense. But if you are just switching over you don't need to turn anything off on the iPhone or iMessage.

Well, then you are a very lucky guy, what they are talking about here have been discussed for years and Apple was under heavy fire because of its obvious tactics to retain their customers. After this, they went public and accepted that there is a glitch on iMessage that REQUIRES to de-register from it before you move to another platform, if not, other iPhone users most of the time don't reach after that, all their SMS and MMS messages get lost on the iMessage servers, they created a support page just for this.

But don't trust us just read by yourself.

It depends on what you do with your SIM. Even Apple tells you to turn off iMessage when switching .. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204270

Really! How do I set up a family subscription?

Thanks for the reply about the message limit by PushBullet. Also quoting you to ensure you see Aquila's reply about hos to set this up.

Anyone on Verizon know if Note 7 will have wifi calling?

Yes it will. I saw listed during my pre-order.

The experience will be different. good or bad will depend on your preference..

For issue number four -sending text from your computer-- some have offered other suggestions (Like hangouts). They are OK, but I use MightyText and it works very well. Try it! I like it -however, to get it's full capabilities you need a paid subscription.

You can enable Ok Google detection even if the phone is on stand by.

Cool. This will be my first phone able to do this.

1. Google now has reminders built into it. You can set them for one time, or recurring.

2. 'Ok Google' is the hot phrase fro Google now. It can send SMS and make calls. I never use it, so I am not sure how well it works. Samsung has a feature called SVoice, and does similar things.

3. If they are uploaded to Photos, they should be organized by date and time.

4. Hangouts. If you get Chrome, and add the Hangouts extension, and use Hangouts for SMS, this will do the same thing as iOS.

I don't know if this option is available on the Note 7. The Nexus 6P has this, as many other Android phones.

...May I toss another one at you...?

MUSIC - I am on apple music with my kids... At one point I had over 2k songs I purchased through iTunes and unfortunately a large chunk of those songs were lost. I don't care about that anymore, but I'm hoping Google Play has a broad selection of music... HUGE reggae fan here and have tons of old classics. I will say apple music has a decent collection....

I will soon become an Android novice as well, and everyone but one son are staying on Apple, including my Apple Music plan. There is an Apple Music app for Google (understand it just came out of beta) that I am going to try first, only so I don't have to try to move everyone to a new service.

Whoa...is this true? There's an app for android that is tied to Apple Music? All my kids music is tied into that service and we have the family share plan for unlimited $14.99...they all have iPhone and I am going back to Android so if this is true this would be a HUGE deal.

Messenger app by Google similar to hangouts but better than samsung sms option

Posted via the Android Central App

I love the messenger interface. Just doesn't play as nice with my Gear Neo watch so don't use it.

 

[Shelacios]

There is also S-Voice which is a Samsung thing. I believe you can set it to read text messages out loud. Many times for me, composing a voice text, S-Voice understands me better than Google.

ITA. I forget to turn on the car mode in the car, but it works better at reading and composing voice texts than even Google Now.

 

[spasell]

Yep.

Wow. This is huge

 

[archer75]

moving from ios to android was easy. I had everything I needed. Moving from android to ios was harder. Several apps I wanted were missing on ios and some of the apps that were there didn't have the same functionality as their android counterparts.

Idk why, but I read this in Donald Trump's voice.
