I downloaded the desktop Messaging app for my new HP Laptop with 4th gen I7 processor. I also downloaded the messaging app on my LG G2 Phone. All works great when I am at home on wifi. But when I leave the house I am finding that my messages don't send about 70 to 80 percent of the time. The ones that do get sent I think are being sent when my phone might be connecting to other wifi areas. I noticed the other day that I went to send a text a block away from my home. I message came up that said f the message is sent Global Data would be charged, or something like this. Where I live it always says I am in "voice roaming" BUT I never encounter roaming charges. So the mention about Global Messaging being used made no sense to me. I didn't okay the use of Global Roaming being used, I just left it alone and noticed that as soon as I came within my home wifi area the message was sent just as easy as could be. I figured there must be a setting that is selected that must say something like " don't send messages unless connected to wifi". But I have not been able to find this setting. So what the heck is going on to cause me to want to throw a $1500 laptop and my phone out the window of my truck? Thanks for the ehlp in advance.
