I think that's a typo, though I agree it is confusing. Afaik you can only send SMS/MMS with a working SIM card. Since the WIFI only version doesn't have a SIM slot (trust me, I checked ) I think it is impossible to send SMS/MMS with the WIFI only version.
You can, however, install Google Hangouts and send instant messages to your Google contacts. I think Hangouts is very promising and could be replacing Whatsapp for me when it becomes more widely used. It also backs up your conversations in the cloud which is a big :good: for me personally.

What makes the LTE version not able to make phone calls? Is the a hardware limitation? Or a custom firmware would manage to do it?
Hangouts (and even Talk, actually) have a pretty good sync with desktop app, which is crucial for me. And I agree, the cloud history is also a big plus.
Thanks and greetings.

Did you got an answer? I got the LTE version... no phonecalls (outgoing/ingoing), no data connection... what is for then? only for sms?
Any body can help / clarify?
EDIT: data connection is solved. APN was not configured at all. Will finally be enabled the voice call on this tablet? (any cooked rom?)

I don't totally follow that app. Do you load it on your phone and tablet and the tablet can get notifications of what is going on on the phone? So if you get an SMS or phone call to your phone it tells you on your tablet?
I agree with the OP that it would be cool or nice to get a Growl notification or something in the notification bar on the tablet if I get either a text message or a call - nothing more than that do I need.
Tablet Talk is what I am using and it works great. I think I paid $2.99 for it but it has been well worth it. It needs to be on both your phone and tablet so check it out in the market to see if it might be of use to anyone.
If you sign up for Google Talk, and link your Google Talk account with your cell # you can have text messages sent to your cell show up on your tablet (or anywhere else really). I have used it and it works great.
Same here with Gtalk. I've used that on my phone, and then my desktop and now my tablet. And any message I get will show up on all three places. It can be a little flaky when it comes to showing whos online (meaning sometimes it will show someone as online but they aren't), but other than that it works very well.
It seems a lot of you are only talking about SMS. A lot of people don't even use SMS these days.
I pretty much exclusively use WhatsApp for all my texting. So, I'm looking for something that will send me Whatsapp notifications. Really, an app that could push notifications to my tablet my from apps I pre-select would be ideal. I guess nothing like this exists at the moment.

Thank you for this. It's a very nifty app once you can set it up. Wish it had a GUI that would do the communicating for me. Unfortunately the incoming call alert does not work.

Tablet Talk seems like a viable solution too. Though it wouldn't be of much use to me since I'd essentially be paying for the ability to get incoming call alerts.

does this affect how sms are received on phone? i really like go sms for texting, and dont want something else taking over or double notifying me
I currently use tablettexts but mysms is a bit **** compared to gosms... especially not being able to send texts when you don't have any signal (instead of queuing them to be sent when you do) so GTalkSMS sounds like an awesome solution - can you use it from the UK though? I'm having a bit of a problem setting it up - is there a guide or anything anywhere?
SyncSMS will transfer your sms notifications to your tablet

i tried a bunch of apps on my touchpad but never found one that works as good as google voice. my touchpad and phone are both set up with google voice and it's integrated with my sprint phone number so no weird number to deal with. works great for me. only thing is once you integrate, no more going back to vvm unless you call sprint to get it set back up.

Just an fyi: If you want the push notifications, you have to press the version number like 10 times or something (I didnt count I just hammered it until the option became available lol)
TexTab without question. I love it, and the UI is nice and simple (uses BlueTooth). It uses your messaging app in that it uses your phone's signal and leaves the text message in the history of the conversation on your phone.

Why are G+ groups mixed in with the contacts? Make it a drop tab or something.
Only thing going for it is the ability to finally send images.

Gtalk is quickly dying, and hangouts is not getting any better. Like a few have said the inability to view your online contacts is a really big deal. I have no clue how my landline non data contacts will ever be able to accept my hangout request, why must I be spamed by people I might make a phone call to once a year, I could care less if they are using hangouts. The people I talk to on gtalk enjoy using gtalk for its cross-platform ability and the nice services provided by google, sure we could use another "Instant Messenger" service like we did before Gtalk, do we really want to? looks like decision day is quickly arriving, google just about 100% killed Gtalk on android 4.3.
Hi Everyone,
I recently purchased an unlocked Sony Xperia SX SO-05D and am using it outside of Japan. I am not able to send or receive any MMS messages. I have updated the APN settings so that I'm able to get on the internet via data. When I go to the settings in the messaging app there's not even any options/setting for MMS like there was on my Xperia go. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance for your help or suggestions.

Yea already checked that. I'm able to get on the internet no problem and the APN settings are as per the carrier. However the option for the attachments doesn't even show up in when writing texts. And if people send me MMS messages I don't receive them. However if I use a third party app like FB Messenger or whatsapp I'm able to.

This is my current setup as well for sending texts from my pc, but I use mysms. It's always just been a little more reliable for me. Does anybody know if the new hangouts, which does sms on android now, supports/will support this functionality? I installed the new apk on my phone and received my sms through it. But I didn't see any text messages in gmail. I don't have an android tablet (yet) to test the hangouts app there.
For now I have disabled SMS in hangouts again, as it was extremely laggy (especially in a conversation with over 10000 messages. the stock sms app handles that better). I felt mysms was less reliable too.

I was hoping for the same thing. I was hoping that sms and mms would sync with hangouts so that I didn't have to create backups and such.
