The annoying bit is that I have Hangouts running within Chrome on my laptop, so if a text arrives I can reply from my computer. Unfortunately, these sent messages only appear in the Android Hangouts app, not the Messenger app. I'd really prefer not to use Messenger for MMS messages and Hangouts for everything else.
Hangouts doesn't seem to work with MMS. This is a problem for me as some of my friends like to send group sms which essentially converts the sms to mms. I never get those messages anywhere really because I only use Hangouts for my messaging needs. Since my google voice is integrated with my sprint phone and I never use the actual phone (always forward it to another cell phone to avoid carrying 2 phones) I can only get my sms via Hangouts and if I'm expecting a MMS I have to ask the sender to send it to the other number, number of the phone that I'm actually forwarding to. This is very inconvenient and my biggest issue with GV.
