how to send SMS from nexus 7? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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!

One X and Nexus 7

I'm trying to pair my One X with my Nexus 7 so I can MAYBE receive text messages and calls on the Nexus 7. Is this even possible? An app maybe? Thanks in advance!

There's an app called Tablet Text for sms and caller ID. I'm not sure if there's anything for actually making or receiving calls.

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.

Your phone is now being tracked by extraterrestrial beings. Good luck!

Try clearing app data, and see if it still does it?
Edit: Settings --> App --> All --> Chrome --> clear data.
Nope still not working

That's odd, I've never seen anything like that before. And the copyright is 2009, so it obviously hasn't been used in quite awhile.
Have you tried visiting Google help, like it says?

[REQUEST] FB Messenger floating head style notifications for SMS

Specifically something that emulates the ability to 'open' a head and reply without entering the app.
I've had Floating Notifications for a little bit on my phone and it's just not what I'm looking for. I also used to use SMS Popup years ago which was quite good but I'd rather something less obtrusive that lets me chose when to see the popup rather than it just appearing and interrupting whatever I'm doing.
Is there anything out there like this? I'm sure I head of something when they first added it to FB Messenger but I can't seem to find anything.
EDIT: I've just installed SMS Extension but I'm not sure it's what I'm looking for.
