Google Voice is free. Not sure on the app, might be GrooveIP Lite.
If you can connect to wifi then you're good. No voice/data plan? Good for flashing.
Still Charged Up
You can get the 30 dollar T-Mobile plan for 5GB of data and use the GV app and use Sipdroid for phone calls. It doesn't work too good over edge (unless you get good signal) so make sure you get 3g.

Not to sound rude or anything but there's this cool thing called a search engine, maybe you've heard of it. You can use it to find basic to advanced information, such as the answers to literally all of your questions in this thread.

I know, this is ridiculous! I can't believe this is happening. I rely on this service so much I would pay for it monthly. Any good alternatives?

Really sucks, do you know of any other apps or great sports news feeds/alerts?
I suppose the ESPN score center widget should still work... but the messages were always more reliable

According to this article, Sprint is charging the content providers, i.e. ESPN, Yahoo, etc. more per message sent. They aren't doing anything to the individual users
Think I could use a Google talk text number for ESPN mobile messages??

I tried this yesterday and the answer is no. google voice doesn't work with any of the content provider sms messaging systems.

Okay so I don't have a xoom but I have the g slate no forum for that right now so I'm posting this here. The free amazon app of the day is text plus and its better than google voice to text. It pops up on your screen with a reply box has push notifications and sends your text plus number to your facebook friends or your gmail contacts. I just got it on my g slate and I'm texting my vibrant it seems to be working great and its free so why not try it out right?
Anyways its in the amazon market today for free so go get it and try it out.

Not sure what those apps do because I've never used them but this app gives you a phone number and allows you to text as if your tablet was a phone so its not I'm its text and it has a pop-up notification when you recieve a text. So basically it feels a lot like a native text application. Rather then an instant messaging client

So you can call that number from land line as well?

No, it gives you a number and you text as if that was your actual tablet number.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
meh.. useless in that case... hard enough for me to get my friends to test to my gv instead og my voice number... having a different number for my tablet sounds very confusing.
If your friends are that lazy I feel bad for them. It's really simple to add a contact to an existing one and text that number if you don't get a response from the phone number

hey guys, I've been hearing from some people that you can send text msgs from the nexus 7, which would be cool to have.
I downloaded GO SMS, and I entered my information and what not, and then it asks me to bind my mobile phone number, but everytime i do, it says verification failed. how the hell do I bind it? has anyone had this problem before?
download tablet talk from playstore..it should help

Word of warning, it will stop working after 14 days unless you pay for it $3.99 for a year. At first I thought it was a steep price to pay but it really is worth it since both devices do not need to be on the same network. For example your phone can be connected by 3g and the N7 by wifi and it will still work.

There is another one named " unlimited sms pakistan " and guess what, the message sent is from a telenor number
@pator , there is one named 24 sms, u can check that.. its for international numbers...
Coming back to you @saadislam , whats the concept behind sendsms.pk ? How long does it takes ? It works on wifi ? Have u tried it yourself ?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda app-developers app
I used it last year when I was out of country. I used it only for outgoing sms as icoming sms is free on international roaming for me.
Its quite fast. The receiver will get a sms from some random ufone number in about 30sec after you send it.
There is also a way to receive sms but I never tried that.

Cloud SMS has been most reliable for me. He is adding mms support right now. You can email dev and ask to beta test mms. Tablet talk wouldn't stay running for me and I kept missing messages. Google voice has always been horribly inconsistent for me. I just use it to make international calls nowadays.
