Does anyone know the name of text messaging app for wifi Honeycomb tablets?
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

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

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.

thanks for this lil beauty!
Maybe I'm an idiot but I can't figure it out. I'm new to Google voice.. I'm trying to use it for my voicemails but when I go through the setup it tells me my carrier doesn't support this feature..
Is the Thunderbolt not able to use Google voice to receive voicemails?

I was trying to use Google Voice to make free calls, but gave up due to worse quality then Skype.
I did try the voicemail feature once but had to logon to my google account from my pc. It apparently set up some sort of forwarding option and i had to call some google phone number to check my voicemails.
I've been using it for Voicemail only since i've owned the original Droid. Works fine on my thunderbolt. Setup just had to dial a number to forward my voice mail and that was it. I'm on stock rooted. ROM bug maybe?

Search Google voice on your PC once you are logged in there's a little gear on the top left of your web page. Click that and choose voice settings. I just did mine tonight. Lol

i came to post this. set it up from your PC then set google voice on your phone to control voice mail. that's all it takes.
U don't get to make free calls, just free text messaging. Also when u make calls it changes ur number. Say u call ur mom and her number is 123 5555555, but when u look at bill it will say I made the call but it won't show her number, shows the number google made up.

Add gv # to friends and family. Use gv callback. Done. Free.
So is there a way to easily text? I use a google voice number, also.

Aren't you answering your own question? You're using cm7 on your touchpad, you already have a google number..
text via google voice app
and if you wanna use your own cell provided number, TexTab works well. created by a felow forum member.
I don't have google voice in Canada so on my Android phone I installed DeskSMS, it will forward all sms messages to gmail or gtalk. I can then use the gtalk or gmail on the Touchpad to send texts.

I use Google Voice, will it screw anything up if I put my regular cell phone number as the number for this device for google voice? That's the only way to get the app to work on the TP, correct?

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'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!
