    My wife has a Galaxy S6 (T-Mobile) and I have a Galaxy S6 Edge (T-Mobile). For some reason when she sends me texts I don't get a notification and I can't see her message when I open the SMS tab of Join. I am wondering if this has something to do with Advanced Messaging:

    https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-23589

    I've tried following the steps above but I still can't get her incoming SMS' to notify me or show in the SMS tab. Any one else have a similar experience? Any solutions? Thanks in advance for any assistance!

    Did you enable your devices in the Android App -> Settings -> SMS -> SMS Devices?

    Hi, thanks for your response. I did enable the devices and I am able to see SMS messages from other devices (non T-Mobile, non-Android, non-Advanced Messaging), it's really just her device that can't communicate.

    Hmm, my guess is that she's using MMS to send you messages. Can that be it?

    That could be it, perhaps the Advanced Messaging Service from T-Mobile converts the texts to MMS. I've noticed the same issue with group messages which are also sent as MMS so that would be a plausible explanation. Any plans to support MMS? Thanks again for your help. It's an excellent app!

    Hello there @joaomgcd is there any update on this by chance. I seem to be having the same issue with at&t's advanced messaging on galaxy s7.

    Thanks for the great work otherwise. This app has been amazingly helpful.

    @Unas advanced messaging is a whole different matter :) MMS is already supported in Join. There are no APIs for advanced messaging on Android yet, sorry!
