Google has announced that T-Mobile will start to allow MMS messages sent to their users’ Google Voice number. When a T-Mobile user sends an MMS to a Google Voice user, the message will be forwarded to that user’s Gmail inbox. I know what you’re thinking. I agree completely. It still isn’t what we want, but it is a slow, glacial start. Why do I say Glacial? Well, dear reader, Sprint and Google introduced that feature back on October 14th, 2011. 2 years later, and we have another carrier on board. Bravo, Google.

You see, that is 2 of the 4 big carriers. You see why I italicized the word allow up there? Well, that’s because the carrier has to sign off on allowing MMS to be sent to a Google Voice number. We still have 2 more (AT&T and Verizon), and God help us if we ever get those two on board. (What about MVNOs?) Sure, this is definitely great news, but by the time the largest carriers in America allow users this feature, will MMS/SMS still rule the Americas?

By the way, there’s still absolutely no mention of Google Voice going international so this is still strictly a U.S. only feature.

Most apps out there like twitter, facebook etc have the swipe down to refresh feature and I always missed this feature in Gmail app for Android.

The other features added are addition of categories and slide out navigation.
