Where is Google's SMS feature?
About three weeks ago, Google pulled the plug on a brand new Gmail feature due to a bug. The SMS feature was initially launched with much buzz — it was designed to allow you to send and receive responses to text messages.
After pulling the feature, they said it would be back in two weeks — I guess it was a more serious issue than first thought. Since the feature was pulled, Google has released more features that people really like in Gmail, including themes.
Perhaps the feature is only available in the United States, and that’s why I don’t see it here in Canada? Let me know if you have it in your account, and some theories on where it went if you don’t.
