[Q] is there a texting app that??

is there a texting app that can forward and reply to texts over internet to another device?
im looking for an app that i can send and receive my texts on my archos 70 that come from my evo.
i've done some searching and didnt really find anything...
let me know thanks

You can send text using google voice.
Swyped from my evo 4g using the xda app.

Why not just use email? You can also text a specific number by using the email format for it, for sprint I think is <number>@pm.sprintpcs.com but I'm not really sure this is the right syntax.

I would have to agree. Google Voice is a great all around app to have. I use it in place of my Sprint VVM, and I can Text Call using my Google Voice #

Google Voice is annoying...

I signed into Google Voice on my phone to check out what it was, then boom...it takes over my phone. I hit do not disturb because I think it'd revert everything back but instead it blocked all incoming phone calls/texts. So, I took Google Voice and signed out of it and now I have call screening (where I have to press 1 to accept calls) and I no longer receive texts...last I did was sign out then uninstall Google Voice. What the hell?

To completely disable it you have to sign into Google.com/voice and disable it in the settings

Me thinks someone doesn't know how to use a simple and immensely useful app/feature.
By the way, is it considered a bad thing to have Udon ramen noodles for breakfast if you're a broke bachelor?

I can't imagine using android phone without Google Voice.

So how do you stop annoying "press 1 to accept the call" feature, and retain the functionality of transcribed VM's and SMS?

I edited my question after your posted, sorry.
I do like to have the functionality of SMS and transcribed VM's.
Will turning the screening off retain the above?

For some odd reason I won't get any phone calls on my nexus now.
I will start looking through the GV settings...

I would recommend setting everything up on the web. I have my number integrated and don't even have the app installed

Have you tried a voodoo kernel?
On another note, I use GV for voicemail and voip when I want. On the first install it took over my entire phone buy after changing settings online I got it set up the way I wanted.

<3 i think the your problem is that you integrated your number when you install it instead of continuing press skip and then it will ask if you want to sign in with your gmail and follow the steps i had the same problem do not integrate!!1!!ONE!!

I'm finally able to use Google Voice without it taking over my device. After you've removed yourself from the software. You can go to the GV settings via the internet on your computer and just choose activate voice mail instead of choosing to integrate your device. Once this is done, open up GV on your device, and the first window allows you to skip the integration portion and allows you to just use it as Voicemail. BOOM!

I'll try this lol. I've got like 12 voicemails and can't get to them because I don't know my Sprint voicemail PIN. LOL

Question for Sprint customers who are using their Sprint number for their Google Voice account; are your Sprint mobile to mobile or anytime minutes accurate when using Google Voice?
Reason, I have seen complaints on other blogs, pertaining to inaccurate minutes usage and wondered if any of you have experienced this.
Best Regards!

Texting using Wifi

Does anyone know or can recommend an app the lets you send/receive SMS & MMS with the Thrive over Wifi?

I have been using Heywire for sms. It does not do mms but it is excellent for sms. The person you send the message to doesn't need to have Heywire installed.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

you can try texttab. What it does is connect thru Bluetooth to your phone, and receives any SMS your phone gets and sends them to your thrive. Which you can reply and send on your thrive once your paired up.

TexTab worked awesome on mine! I absolutely love that program. Thanks for the head's up on that app. Definitely worth paying for it...

I have google voice and I have loved being able to text from any browser, including the thrive's browser. Especially if you're on sprint for your mobile servce, I would strongly recommend setting up google voice.

Sprints decision to work in collaboration with google voice makes it this way. I have Sprint and love them for this. A friend of mine is having trouble figuring out how to send google voice sms from his Thrive since he is on TMobile tho.

I use DeskSMS, I started using it over month ago and the fact it actually syncs with my contacts on my phone rather they have Google Voice or any other service makes it IMO the best app there for texting over wifi without having to jump between phone numbers. Especially for those of us that didnt want to lose our MMS capability by completely syncing with Google Voice.

I tried DeskSMS for a little while and it works ok. I stopped using it because Google Voice Canadian numbers are still not available. Hopefully I will use DeskSMS again once Canadian Google voice numbers are available.
Rogers Wireless use to offer wifi calling and text for consumer however this option is no longer compatible with my current plan with them so I had to improvise.
I`ve also tried textplus which work very well and you can get a Canadian number by
paying a monthly fee.

[Q] App for texting using tablet?

What is the best app out there for sending and receiving SMS text messages using your tablet?

sms sync tab text.. these are two that i have tired both work. Not used them in a while so might work better now with updates to them.. can do bluetooth or must be on same wifi network. .
Also if you are tethered you can use google voice or yahoo messenger to text to and from phone numbers. Groove ip as well and grove with google voice is awesome to make Phone calls from tablet.. There are so many out there you will have to try and find what works best for your liking and style.

I would recommend using SyncSMS

I would recommend Google voice and talkatone, as the latter requires a Google voice number. Talkatone incorporates both WiFi calling and SMS texting, while using only Google voice allows only texting over WiFi.

I've been trying out Tablet Talk lately and it seems to work well.

Same here... Tablet Talk is awesome!

I use mighty text. I am not sure about the other apps, but this app uses your own phone number, and there is an extension for the chrome browser for a computer.

SyncSMS
I think I like SyncSMS the best. It seems to be the best of the suggestions.

Google Voice + Groove IP apps so you can make/receive unlimited calls within North America along with unlimited SMS text for free over WIFI. Just pay the one time fee for the Groove IP app or use free equivalent.

I really like tablet talk

+1 to Google Voice. I use Google Voice's app for texts, and GrooveIP for calls.

I'm using mySMS it's free and works good. Give it a try. I have it set on my cell phone to run in background but not to notify or pop up. I then am able to use Handcent as my normal SMS application.

Do any of the texting apps mentioned here actually give you your own #, so that actual mobile users can text you? (I'm only aware of Google Voice doing this)

Using tablet talk and it's working great.

Using syncsms here, just make sure you have free space in your drop box and you're fine!

How are you text messaging on your n7?

So I'm new to the nexus 7 just wondering what all of you are using for text messaging? Right now I have text+. But I see others out there such as... mysms, sync SMS, tablet talk. What are you using and why?

I dont text that much in my Nexus 7 but it I do I just sync it up to my galaxy nexus with tablet talk.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I tested TabletSMS but the price they asked is ridiculous, and it's necessary to have a wi-fi connection all the time on both devices. So I've bought Tablet Talk and it works great, it can use Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, so it's pretty much perfect for what my use.
My devices are Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro and a Nexus 7.

I use Google Voice over wi-fi. Works perfectly.

Desk SMS here sorry desk SMS on phone tablet SMS on N7.

I use google voice. I don't give out my real cell #, only my google voice #. So I do a lot of my texting from my browser or tablet.

TabletSMS and DeskSMS works on wifi over google account its $4.99/year but if you take your tablet somewhere and forget your phone/ leave it plugged in to charge (still connected to 3G/4G/WiFi) you can text with your Nexus 7 no matter where you go as long as you have an internet connection. it works over google account.

I don't believe that Google Voice works anywhere but the US. I could be wrong though.

Do I need to buy the phone version also to use this?

TabletSMS and DeskSMS are the best. You can even install an extension in Chrome and Firefox to text from your browser. Best part is it is linked to your Google account so no need to have wifi or bluetooth on. Just ensure your phone is connected to the internet. Koush makes great products, can't go wrong!

I use a combination of Google Talk, Facebook Messenger and Zipwhip which forwards SMS from my phone to my tablet, it's also free and can be used on the Web also.
