Honestly let's have some dignity and not buy into this vapid pretentious idiocy.

Right, I don't understand why these weird hacky services are making headlines. If you want to have a blue bubble, just buy an iPhone. They're not actually THAT expensive, you can usually buy last year's model for under $500 if you wait for a deal and you're willing to commit to a carrier. Or if you really can't afford that, you can get an older iPhone basically for free. Even a 3 year old model gets you a blue bubble.

Or, if you're not an insecure child that gives in to peer pressure, get whatever phone you want.

Damn, we calling 3 years old now? My iPhone 6 must be from the Paleolithic era then.

Lol I said it's 3 years old, not "old". That's the not-so-secret secret of today's phones: a 2 or 3 year old phone works just fine.
