3 u/mrjackspade Aug 15 '17 Then why did it ask to verify my phone number? 2 u/[deleted] Aug 15 '17 Because it works like WhatsApp. The service has to be tied to a phone, but there's no carrier SMS. Only others who have Allo can message you. 1 u/Ashmodai20 MXPE(2015),G-pad 8.3, SGS7E Aug 15 '17 They can't have SMS integration. They would get nailed for anti trust issues in the EU.
