Google has joined the race in a very competitive market for offering group chat capabilities thorough text messaging on smart phones via their cell phone operator. It has released its own underground application, Disco Messenger, which is exclusively for iPhone users. It was created by a company titled, Slide, which was acquired by Google in August last year.

The services of Disco Messenger can also be accessed on the internet (which is also Google’s acquisition now). Anyone can simply sign-up online and the user will be assigned a new phone number, after which it gains access to the actual SMS rampage. Texting a whole bunch of people, rather anybody at all, collectively with one button is a very powerful tool, even if it’s through Disco service or some other.
Although, on the down side, it has to be taken notice of that Disco uses the iPhone's text message plan, hence if you’re intending to send texts all over the place through Disco, make sure that you can afford it through your carrier plan as well. Best solution for such deals is to get a text package which offers unlimited texting.
Disco Messenger is just another application in the hugely crowded market of group texting applications like GroupMe, Beluga, Fast Society, Kik and many more. Perhaps considering the amount of competition, Disco is just simply trying its luck with the service and keeping itself going with the new trend in app development.
Many claim that it is very long sighted to see Disco appearing in the stores of Android’s marketplace and even more unlikely is the integration with Google Voice.
