Voxios Chat Feature Is Aimed At Killing SMS, But In A Smart Way

Secondly, this chat feature will be moving to the startup's iPhone client shortly, going up against WhatsApp and a host of other messaging services trying to kill SMS.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/fuX2npeMX-Y/
