Gmail SMS suddenly gone?

kehko · 06-25-2009, 10:07 AM

So I went to go text my friend through Gmail this morning, the same one i successfully texted yesterday, and I discovered the "Send SMS" feature is totally gone. I always went on the left of the screen, located the receiver's name in the list of contacts, hovered over their name and clicked "Video & More" where I'd find "Send SMS". But that option is now gone.

I have tried turning Labs off and On. Another note- Sending SMS is now not listed under Labs, either.

What has happened?

IDK if any of this matters but I have a MacBook and I'm using Firefox.

Yea i had the same thing happen to me also! I use it daily and now it is gone! I have no idea what happened to it and i did the exact same procedure as you and still nothing. I hope that this will be resolved soon...

GOOGLE, PLEASE FIX THIS!

Wondering the same... No warning or announcement of any kind, it just.. Disappeared, which is a bit of a bother.

I wonder the same thing- SMS text messaging lab is completely gone from google mail. I feel as I am nothing without it, ha. What's going on?

Another one here having the same problem. Life is lost without it, LOL. I hope Google will fix it soon.

It was causing problems. It will probably be back.
