SMS app options

Can anyone recommend a SMS text option app or service that might be on the 7 already I'm missing. Tired of doing the tiny brain thing switching back and forth with the phone. Thanks!

Yep.

Google Voice is what I use. You use the Google Voice number just like a cell number. Google even gives you a voice mail number.

how to send SMS from nexus 7?

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?

Is it possible to use these texting apps with an ordinary mobile number (I.e. not a smartphone)? I find my phone so small that I always struggle with texts...

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.

I very much doubt it. Unless you are in the States and set up a Google Voice account.

Sending and receiving texts

Does anyone know if there is an app that we can use to send and receive text messages on the Nexus 7 while connected to wifi?

if you use Google Voice then there's always that option.

Cloud sms

If you want to use a phone number from your cell phone tablet talk is great if you want your tablet to have its own number use Google voice

I've been using MightyText. You install the app on your phone and set it up, then install it on the tablet. You can send/receive texts from the web or the tablet. It will push it through your phone so it's all from/to your normal number.

I just installed Mighty Text on my Nexus 7 (I already had it installed on phone and PC). Until now, I didn't know there was a tablet app. Pretty cool stuff.

Thanks for all the responses. I'll have to give them a try. Google voice does texts? I thought Google voice was voice chat

Tablet talk also uses your cell phone number

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.

Mighty Text works just fine for me.
