Looking to see if anyone knows of a way to link the ipod imessage app to android? looking for a way to be able to send my kids messages from my vibrant via text to their imessage apps on their ipods. Don't really want to set up and use something like a whatsapp, would rather let them use the native imessage if possible. Let me know if you know of anything. Thanks.

On the iPhone theres an app from Cydia which is called SMS GV Extension which makes you receive all your GB messages in your SMS app. Can you do this on Android? Specifically on HTC Sense?
bump.................................
Wow... And they say that Android is more customizable then iPhone...
Help please, I really want this feature,
If you want it then make it. This is a development site not a feature request site.
So there is nothing like that? Dam Cydia has so much to offer, that you just can't get on Android... Oh well.
Android is not about getting things it is about making them. That is why it was targeted to developers at first.
Some time has passed and was wondering if something like this has been created yet.
BUMP
yes, there's an app for exactly what you are looking for.
just search for mdrtools in the market, and install google voice sms integration app.
Alright, this is driving my nuts.
Is there a way to be included in the text group with my friends on iPhones/iMessage? Instead of only being able to receive and send individual texts, can I be included in the group text chat so I only see one message string and only need to send one message to go to everyone? I know there are other messaging apps that have this capability, but will they communicate with iMessage, because my iPhone friends aren't likely to switch from default text app?
I had just accepted that it was an iMessage only thing and not compatible, but my friend on a Droid Bionic is able to group chat.
Thanks
And I just realized I should have started this thread in the Themes & Apps section. Sorry
As far as I know iMessage is like blackberry messenger for iOS. Group messaging is turned on by default on iOS (as far as I know) so thats the feature you need to look for. When I had my windows phone, it supported group messaging out of the box but was turned off by default.
I have never found an option in any default text app (never tried any from market) but I would think that android could support it.
Hi,
I am hoping someone can help me as I have searched quite a bit and not ever had my question answered.
I grabbed a Lumia 800 to test WP7.5 (& 7.8 when it is released) as I have an eye on the Lumia 920 and want to test the waters before committing. I understand that 7.8 is not going to be the same as 8 but I can only assume it is going to be better so if I like the 7.8 OS I should in theory like WP8.
I currently am using an iPhone 5 as my main phone but I also have a GS3 too that I use from time to time. My issue is that when I swap sims from the 5 to the Lumia 800 I cannot get group messaging to work and I think it is due to iMessage on the iPhone 5. Even though I turn off iMessage before swapping sim cards it will not allow me to do a group message. iPhone users who text me have it show up as an iMessage at first before it going as a normal text.
Group texting is one feature I extensively use on IOS and would not want to forgo it so I was hoping someone had gone through the same issues but had it work for them.
I have turned on group messaging in the settings on the Lumia but that makes no difference as all responses do not go to the thread but individually.
One last question as well, if I can get it to work are all recipients able to reply to all like the iPhone version of group messaging or will they only see the message from me?
Thanks and sorry for the long post.
iMessage is one of the may ways which Apple uses to lock users in. It is not a normal or 'standard' group text function but a propriety system. So you can't communicate using iMessage with other devices but iPhone, in those case you will see normal SMS messages.
Group text will require MMS to be set up and available. Also you must enable the group text option in settings for the messaging hub. When enabled you will send one MMS to all recipients and responses and responses will remain in a single conversation. For the recipients to have a reply to all option they too will have to have MMS enabled.
I know understand the issue is not on the WP7 end it is down to the way that iMessage interprets text messages as almost like emails.
I have found a program that will allow you to use Group Messaging on Android, IOS & WP7 so will tell people I know to grab it to be able to do group messaging when required.
ive googled to my hearts content about this but cant find what im after.
does one know of an android app that does the same thing as iMessage, in that I can send an sms and an instant message to the same contact in the same conversation. ie iMessage has green for sms and blue for im in the same window, is there anything along the lines of that for android?
thanks in advance
Someone should create an english version for iMessage Chat for android that will be the sweetest thing ever
Let me first state that I am a Android fan boy. I have no desire to get an iPhone, however a bunch of my friends have iPhones and are all in group messages with eachother. They would add me to the group, but if that were to happen, it would get rid of all of the iPhone messaging features such as sending through internet instead of sms.
So, my question is this: Is there an app (or any possible way) which will allow me to enter these groups using the iPhone messaging system?
Thanks!
