I solely use Google Voice (no phone plan) and these updates are much needed. The ability to support group messages and photo SMS are the 2 major upgrades. So happy to see attention being devoted to this amazing product!

@kevinmandeville since you don't have a phone plan, do you just use Wi-Fi?

@love2golf yep! I'm in an urban area (Boston) and there's abundant wifi between home, work, and all around. I am a Comcast Xfinity customer and they have a nationwide hotspot network you have access to which has been awesome. Additionally, I also use FreedomPop for mobile hotspot data if I ever need to, but honestly I rarely ever use that as the former services have me covered. I've done this for over 3 years now and it's been amazing to be free from phone companies with no bill yet have the exact same functionality of calling and texting. You're even able to port over your existing phone number for a one-time $20 fee, so I didn't even lose that when switching to Google Voice.
