No but you could set up a Google Voice number and send SMS - it won't appear from your phone number however, but your new Google Voice number
What did you do to get yourself sms banned?

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.

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

MySms forwards sms to my tablet. Anyone running anything that does the same for missed calls?
Tablet talk app works great for both SMS and calls with caller id.

Well I kinda like the way mysms does it all synced without the need for bluetooth or being on the same local network..
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.

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

I'm using go sms pro. only app that can handle all my texts :S
I'm using 8sms (Stock Messaging, KitKat). It's the best SMS app I've ever used. It has all the emojis of Apple and you can see them when iPhone users send you one.
I'm using Go Contacts Ex to handle everything from Calls, Contacts, and SMS / MMS.

New hangouts version 2.1.1 has been released. Doesn't seem to be a major update, mainly bug fixes I imagine. Here's the DL link.

I have noticed, on Sprint with this version I can now see the APN option in the SMS settings menu. Have never had that appear before, there are TONS of options for Sprint/SPCS now
Does anyone have this issue where you can't see the avatar of the person who texted you?

Got similar issue on stock. In my case Hangouts also didn't send pics. Killing and restarting app helped.

Still have the problem with peoples contact picture not showing up in the notification window
The only thing irking me is the fact that randomly when I go into sms conversations it'll show the hangouts bubble on the bottom left - greyed out with the word "sms" in it... Drives me nuts cause the text is also in a weird spot... If it at least centered it wouldn't annoy me as much.

You have to manually set the photo in contacts again to update for notifications.

OK so the app automatically syncs em but for hangout notification pictures to pop up in notification pull down you have to MANUALLY set the photo again in contacts app. I emphasize on manually
