Hi everybody,
does anybody know if it is possible to install a SMS client on the GT 10.1v? Being it a 3G Tablet it should be possible to activate the SMS messaging ... I had been using the same SIM-card in a Samsung Netbook where it was possible to write text messages. The tab didn't let me install GO SMS.
Thanks!
I've installed WhatsApp and it want to send a SMS message before it starts. When I enter a correct phonenumber, WhatsApp presents an error telling me that it's not possible to send an SMS.
It appears the current firmware doesn't support SMS/Phone operations. Perhaps a custom rom in the near future will solve this problem.
I've tried to use Go SMS & Go Dialer, but without any luck.
Google talk floating around xoom forum can send SMS but replies are going to my phone

I use sync SMS on my 10.1 wifi tab... install on tablet then on phone... must have a dropbox account. Works really good.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
using dropbox seems like a poor way of doing it..
I just started on one myself that does it through bluetooth
that's also not a perfect way of doing it but it seems better than dropbox to me
then again, I have no idea if it will work through bluetooth. I literally just started on it yesterday so I basically have zero functionality so far.
I just saw that HTC Flyer on Android 2.4 does have an SMS App working. Couldn't we just rip the app of the Flyer and install on the GT?
How could we get the messaging (SMS) app from the Flyer to try?
My GO SMS works nicely!

Sorry if I am being dumb - you got GoSMS working on a 10.1V? How comes? I have in the meantime only managed to get it installed. But - as predicted - it would not send any SMS.
I can send SMS using the messaging function in the message app.
textab is the best sms app out there in my opinion. unless your trying have a set number to the tab and text from it.
Sign up for a Google Voice number for free. ( google.com/voice ) Make sure you go through the settings and don't have it forward texted to your current cell phone number but just to the email address used to sign up.
Use the Google Voice App from the market or the one already preinstalled on the Tab. Log in using your Google Voice account and start texting using your new Google Voice phone number to any cell phone number.
DeskSMS is the ONLY way to go for SMS from a tablet, desktop, or web interface. Doesn't require an active bluetooth connection or Dropbox. It just forwards all my SMS to my Google Talk account, and I can reply directly within Google Talk on my Tablet or Trillian on my PC.
Google voice now supports tablets. I use it all the time to text from the tab.

You can send text messages via the gogle voice app now, if you don't mind using your google voice number instead.

I have the same question.... I have google voice number setting up.... Just wonder how can u able to send text via tab.... Thanks
Once you have the google voice number set up just go into the market and download the app. Go through the initial install and the option to compose a message is at the top of the screen
Got it work like a champ...... Thanks much.... Now im waiting see if we can make a wif calls from tab... Thanks again

I use heywire for text n grooveip for calls
Textab is pretty cool. Gets the job done for me.
But as already mentioned google voice is probably the best choice.

theres a app called textab and pretty much you connect your phone to your tablet (via Bluetooth) and you receive and send texts through your tab. your have to get it for your tab and your phone
Dumb question, but wondering if it's possible to text imported contacts. Don't want skype or fring, just standard texting over wifi.
You can send SMS text messages using Google Voice. If installed, it shows up as an option in contacts.
Thanks didn't look at google voice sms!
BTW, found anther way to sms from the flyer. Go to the market and get syncSMS. It's $2.99. Then get Dropbox, which is free. I put syncSMS on my nexus and it syncs both inbox and outbox from the phone to the tablet!
Have all original sent/received sms on the phone, even though the entire conversation took place on the tablet
Try TexTab Lite. Install it on your tablet and Android phone, start Textab on both, configure and connect devices with Bluetooth.
When phone received message, it will forward it using BT to tablet. You can view and reply directly on tablet your phobe will take care of sending.

I did a Google search and found some info I was just wondering if there a Popular one that Prime guys like. Thanks for your input.
"Prime guys"? I swear XDA is just goin to hell. There is already a thread on here for the exact same thing.
Try Gtalk. Every SMS will go to whatever app you have Gtalk open on, either your computer/tablet/phone.
Google Voice is as good as any app for SMS. I use it on my tablet. You can consolidate all texts and call through the same number, ditch your carrier number for the most part, so that when you swap carriers or phones or REAL phone numbers, people can still use the same number to reach you. You could even use the Google Voice Callback (though its market availability is currently in limbo, install it on an android phone by downloading the apk. It all syncs together, you can use your GV with an app like sipdroid to make calls using voip. I thought this was all common knowledge for android users.

Just install tablet talk and use a real phone. Google Voice blocks you from sending messages to a contact after 120-150 in one day, unless you are using it through forwarding texts to any cellular (dumb or smart)phone. So GV on it's own is not useful for serious communication.

As far as I know Google Voice does not send MMS either. If it did I would use it on all my devices by default.

I have Sprint and an integrated google voice number. I also have a tablet I use to send/receive GVoice messages. Problem is, only the received messages will show up on my phone...any message sent through GVoice isn't there. Ps, I understand WHY, just looking for a way to get around it.
Is there any app/technique available (searched FOREVER) that will allow my phone to sync up with the sent messages from GVoice? Essentially, I want to be able to have a gvoice only conversation on the tablet and have the same conversation show up on the phone.
Thanks!
Bump. Have an app that can send GV from the native SMS system.
GV Intergration
But I cannot get GV messages received in the native message app without forwarding the text through the proper SMS phone number. I thought there was an an option for this in the GV app, but it doesn't seem to make a difference for me.
I just emailed the developer of the GV Integration app asking if he had any ideas on how to do this. Unfortunately, the Google Voice app is the only one I've found that will sync messages instantly (or at all). I SMS a *lot* from my laptop browser via google.com/voice and the Google Voice chrome plugin.. so it would suck to only see one side (incoming) of the text thread.
I'll definitely let you guys know if I find anything.
damnit google.. open up the freakin api already.
Also.. if you do use the Google Voice app.. there's an app on the market called NotifierPro that works with the Android Google Voice app to display popups of incoming text messages... which is convenient.
You can send text mesages with GVI, then have them forwarded back to your phone. That would work if you have unlimited inbound texts, but it cuts prepaid texting in half, which is nice, but could be nicer.

Well, I'm glad others have an interest in something like this too. I've been using mysms recently...it's by no means reliable and it relies on your phone to send/receive (unlike GV) but it works ok for now. Mighty text works better as far a reliability goes, but is terrible with the tablet browser, doesn't support notifications, and still relies on the phone...still not GV. I guess we'll just gave to wait.
Argh...the GV integration app ALMOST works. It might just be a matter of getting the settings right. Messages sent from a Google Voice web browser get integrated into handcent (Usually after you receive a message). I just keep running into problems with duplicate messages, not getting notifications from handcent (messages still show up), etc depending on the settings I choose between the GV/Handcent/GV Integration apps.
SO frustrating...has anyone had better luck?
Looking for a way to keep text sent from the browser and tablet synced with my phone as well. Im using Sprints GV integration as well.
I know this thread is old but for anybody that finds this post you should know that cm10.2 roms have voice+ which integrates messages sent from a computer to your phones message store
Wow thread resurrection! Yes it's awesome. Been using it since Koush came out with Babel. Recent nightlies though, receiving messages has been spotty. Are you using nightlies and or are you seeing this too?

For anyone else, the app Sliding Messaging (on play store, or if you search xda) just added Google voice integration.

I've recently upgraded devices and would like to give my son my old Thunderbolt to use like an ipod. I do not however wish to activate the phone. Are there any apps that will allow him to make calls or send sms messages when he is connected to wifi but has no phone number or data plan attached to the phone? I'm pretty sure he can make and receive calls using skype, he already is able to video chat with that...but I would love to be able to text him when it's time to come home etc...
Thanks!
Google Talk (chat/sms) and Hangout(video calls)? no number needed, just wifi connection and gmail account.
He wont really be able to send sms (considering it requires a phone number of some sort and/or access to a phone system).
I guess he could using sendsmsnow. website that can send sms to numbers and receive if he registers an account. Never used it so I'm not sure about the details.

I think you can try HeyWire from the playstore. It'll provide you a number upon registration and then you are able to send and receive message through it.

It's already been said, but I can't say enough how cool google voice is! You get your own custom google number and can text unlimitedly for free. The only limitation is no picture or video messaging...but hey, it's free!

Thanks a lot everyone! I tried out Text Free because it was the first suggestion and it works perfectly. I may give Google Voice a try also, but it's working as I hoped it would!
