The Facebook update to Messenger has now begun rolling out to everyone. The new update brings a sort-of-Holo design overhaul to the previously tired looking messaging app, ditching Facebook blue for Skype blue and replacing the dreary background color with bright white. The new Messenger also allows you to send SMS messages to people who aren't your Facebook friends, by using their telephone number – but this is where things get weird.
There is no option in the new Messenger to enable SMS like there is in the new Hangouts, which, incidentally also combines IM with SMS. The problem is, not everyone seems to be able to actually send text messages with the new version, and those with the old version either can or cannot, which is even weirder, considering the old version has been out for ages and the new app doesn't even support this for all users yet.
