hi! i have the samsung tab 10.1 gt-p7500 3gs
and i want to know...if i turn of the 3gs option and i connect to the wifi...and i want to send text messege..it will cost me extra money? or the tablet can send the message with wifi?
thanks!!!
I think texting is tied to a carrier phone number. I don't think it works on wifi. I can send messages to friends via wifi using Facebook, Google chat, but my wifi only P7510 will not send text to a phone.

i have a 7500 3g and i use it full time as home phone and messenger through my carrier....it goes through the mobile network but doesn't use 3g ( keep in mind i have mobile data closed unless i need to send mms)
but becareful...some mixes of custom rom + voice call app may make it sluggish...i had to go through some trial and testing to get the best match

Hey guys,
I have a Viewsonic G Tablet (running CyanogenMod 7.1) and a Sony Ericsson Xperia Play R800a (flashed with R800i UK Generic 4.0.2.A.0.42, locked bootloader, Rogers locked and not rooted).
What I am looking to do is use my G Tab as my phone when at home, like install it at my desk and answer calls and SMS from it directly. Somewhat like a bridge between my Xperia Play and my G Tab. Then, when not needed, just "disconnect" them and go my way with just the phone.
Answering SMS would be way faster with the USB keyboard I have and it would make a crazy looking home phone.
I tried searching on Google and in the forums but couldn't find anything... perhaps I missed something?
If you guys know something that can do what I'm looking...
Thanks!
There aren't any telephony components in the gTablet. That said, you can still do voip. The Google Voice app will let you do sms. And GrooveIP works with a Google Voice number. If you use GV, then you can use your tablet as a second device. You might be able to forward your cell phone to a GV number to transfer calls (don't think you can forward sms).
Skype also works on the gTablet.
Just listened to Android central's podcast and somebody mentioned getting the paid app gvoice. From what I understand it allows you to make calls via internet (wifi or cellular data) and receive them using your google voice number. dunno about being able to disconnect like the way you want but worth checking out

I installed Skype, then bought a phone number ($15 / year) and bought an international calling plan ($15 / year - optional) so I could be reached on vacation. I forwarded my phone to my Skype number, and voila! any calls coming to my home number go to my tablet.
Hey all, thanks for your ideas
I can't use GVoice since I'm in Canada, and I'm looking for something a lot easier
I basically want my tablet to act roughly like a Bluetooth headset (communication still handled by my phone on the GSM network) but with a dialer that would allow me to key in the number I want to dial.
Worse case scenario, I can live without the SMS but I would really like the phone to work as I want
Someone mentioned the G Tab does not have telephony capabilities. Can that be installed at all since what I'm looking for is hooking it up to my actual phone by Bluetooth and therefore don't require an actual SIM in my tablet?
there is an app called tablet talk, you can google it, which allows you to pair your tablet n phone via bluetooth to send n receive sms.
Is the a way to receive and send T-Mobile txt msgs on the book?

Text messages require a cellular connection and a cellular contract. You have neither with your Nook.
So no way to auto-forward from my phone to say a google voice number(or some txt msg service) to an app on my nook and to send a reply back to my phone to resend back out via cell? like have my phone receive the txt as normal, then an app grabs it, transmits it via wifi to a server and pushes it to a sister app on my nook.
Check out syncsms. It should help you out.
I have tried text plus too. Seems to work.

If you use google voice you can get your texts and voice mails right on your nook and pc too.
Anyone else having this issue? I can send MMS just fine when i get a data signal. Also calls and SMS are working great over wifi calling....just cant seem to send a MMS.
I use Handcent and have no problem.
Have this issue too
I have this issue as well, when WiFi Calling is activated I cannot send or receive MMS messages.
I'm still completely stock.

Tried handcent with no luck. Still can't send or receive MMS.
I have an s3 and also have this issue - anyone find a solution?
Google a little bit. Sounds like this is a known issue for T-Mobile on many different devices. :-(

Unfortunately this is an issue, but I don't know if the blame can be placed on TMobile, as the stock messaging app will allow me to send an MMS over WIFI. The reason being is that MMS is sent using the carrier's data connection. With the stock app, while using wifi, it disconnects from the wifi connection just long enough to send the MMS. However, when using a third party, it does not register and therefor isn't sent until you disconnect from the wifi or resend through the stock app.
Works for me bro. But then again, my data is always on...

This is a pretty crap issue.
I have no damn signal in my house (even though I really should), so Wifi Calling is a godsend (even though it likes to randomly turn off).
But I've got five MMS pending download because of a group text, and I can't reply. I would have to go up the street to get them.
I'm on Verizon and have the same problem. Only solution to sending and receiving is to clear data, but have to do that every time i send or receive an MMS on stock. tried Go SMS and Handcent, and get the same issues.

This worked for me at work and at home. Just need to do this for every wifi access point you use. I found this on Rootzwiki.
Long press on your Wifi connection
Press "Modify Network"
Scroll down to IP Settings and change that from "DHCP" to "Static"
Scroll down to DNS and enter the following information:
DNS 1 - 8.8.4.4
DNS 2 - 8.8.8.8
Press Save
REBOOT YOUR PHONE! This is important.
I would love to be able to send SMS through my WiFi because I get crap signal in my room.... is there a WiFi calling app for att?

For some odd my Mega & my wife's Note 3 all changed the texting number about 5 hours ago. Neither of us could text. I changed the messaging number back & all has been well since.
I'm not sure if this is an issue with mobile network, but my Mega takes a long time to send text. It takes 2-10 sec to send an sms and 20 seconds to send an mms (lte is 15-20 mbps where I live). Sometimes it appears loading icon and takes forever when I send an sms, and the person I send to receive severals copies of that same message. (I've also tried Hangout to send messages. The same thing happened)
Other phones usually send sms instantly and mms in 2-5 seconds.
Youtube and web on 4g seems perfectly fine on my mega though.

Chase661 I would suggest checking your APN settings with your carrier.

Please my Mega too is having same iaaue
While on WiFi, I can't get group messages to appear. It will show as unloaded until I disconnect from WiFi.
I know this is an issue with a number of stock RIMs and wanted to know if anyone had a workaround.
Are you talking about while connected to wifi calling? If so unfortunately you have to use the default messenger app that came with the phone. Hangouts ect will not work for mms while on wifi calling
