I have seen this question asked numerous times before, and everyone gives the most cliche answer. "iMessage is an iOs feature and will never be compatible with Android. Please download a third party cross-platform application that the iPhone user must also install."
I have thought about it, and although it seems like more of a question that belongs in an iPhone forum, is there a way to forward iMessages received on an iPhone/iPad (jailbroken of course) to an AT&T number or similar Android application?
I am running Android 4.1 on Note 2 I317 rooted with jailbroken iOs 5.x
Please do not reply if you have to say something along the lines of
Both users must use a third party application with it's own messaging server.
Just use the iPhone/iPad.
Inform the other user to send failed iMessage as SMS (not applicable to this situation as I am trying to subvert international SMS charges).
Tried searching these forums, other forums, the internets and can't find anything - which leads me to think maybe this is a stupid question for some reason, but I don't understand why
I'm experimenting with SIP/VOIP on my Android device (Galaxy Nexus).
I'm using the SIP account settings in the stock dialer app, this works fine for dialing/voice.
The issue is there are no similar SIP settings for the stock SMS client...
is this simply a feature that was not added for some reason?
is there a technical reason why this is not possible? (other third party clients support it)
or can the stock SMS client use SIP and I just can't figure it out?
Thank you kindly for any help, and for your patience.
Did you ever find a answer to this? I'm going through the same process right now and this seems to be a stumbling block. Thanks,
I too have been looking for ways to make this work.
I've read that vanilla SIP itself doesn't support SMS but with extensions it does, so first check with your VOIP provider, then with your SIP app/client. (though these were random forum comments not necessarily from experts, as is this one). Also note that some providers or apps do this "properly" with (as I gather) something called SIP MESSAGE extension, some do it with HTTP push and pull requests behind the scenes. (E.g. some elaboration on reddit "sip_and_sms" - sorry I can't post links)
My provider les.net, claims to have this working with Asterisk (full PBX software : - (, with Bria (paid SIP client), and with CSipSimple (open source SIP client).
So even though my provider doesn't "support" or document it, I first tried it with the native Android SIP client but I still get the "Currently can't send your message. It will be sent when the service becomes available." message (even when SIP calls are working).
And even with one of their suggested clients, CSipSimple, I set it up exactly as they document and I still get the same "Currently can't send..." message.
So anyone else more expert than me, please chime in if you can!!
...and yes I know this is a bleeping old thread.
Hi all,
I hope this is the right place for this question. I had a phone stolen and am trying to find out if Verizon installed their Cloud application on the phone so I might be able to remotely backup my SMS messages.
It has a remote server installed on it that will allow me to run some features.
Thanks in adance if someone can help me with SMS backup
My apologies if I am posting this in the wrong area, but I seem to be looking for something that is difficult to find. Either that or I REALLY don't know how to ask/search for that which I am looking.
I need an app on my phone [android - Samsung Galaxy S4] for my emails, however I don't want the messages stored on the phone. So I guess I am looking for an app-etized webmail interface. Important features:
The ability to have a formatted signature (bolding, etc). The ability to add a logo would be nice, but not required
The ability to send formatted messages (HTML?)
The ability to use Templates
The ability to send/manage multiple attachments
Those are the biggies that I can think of at the moment.
Every time I find something it seems to want to save/manage the messages locally, and I am just REALLY paranoid about having business emails on something as easily lost/stolen as a phone (regardless of the ability to remote wipe)
Would anyone happen to know of a good solution? Doesn't have to be free, but reasonably-priced is a plus.
Many thanks (and a few beers) in advance!
I've been trying to use official samsung apps to do this but can't find the apk anywhere or find anyone whose done it. Verizon wants me to use their horrible messages+ app.
IIRC Verizon disabled the use of Samsung native messaging/phone apps on the LTE Tab S6 so they could use their own garbage. Hate that Verizon does this.
Possible workaround...use Google Messages app on your phone and the Message from Web feature to open via Chrome on the tab? I haven't tried this as I use Textra for messaging, however I suppose it should work...may need to turn on desktop version for the site to function correctly. Then just create a homescreen shortcut to the Messages site. Bonus: you get RCS support with other Google Messages users (though I'm not sure if/how this works via web...).

This is what I had to do, when you open the messages on the browser, look for an option to install the "browser extension" which is pretty much like an app. It's the way I use and works great, however, it does mirror what's in the phone so your phone must be on and online
Trying to figure this out myself. Can't get Textra or the stock Samsung Messages app onto the Verizon Tab S6.
Verizon has it gimped pretty bad.
I wonder if you pay off the device in full and contact them to unlock, would that possibly work? I know Verizon is notorious for doing stuff like that.
Verizon blocks the feature itself from their devices because they want to push users to use their crap Messages+ app...

You need to use Google's messages or Verizon's message+ for texting... Google's offering is a lot better but Messages+ allows for phone calls on the tab...
If you use Google Messages (it is what I use), you'll need to do mobile web and open the browser on the tablet, there will be a button by the address bar to download the "app" and it will from that point you'll have the messages app installed on your tablet.
Phone calls, you need to install call and text on other devices version 2.1.00.48 (ill check later to make sure thats the version). Download it from APK Mirror

I downloaded this version and not to be daft, but it's unclear to me if this needs to be installed on the phone, the tablet, or both. I am able to open it on the tablet but it fails to install.
Also, I have been messing with Message+ (as a Verizon user) for 3 days now, not liking it one bit. I did as you suggested with Google Messages and the shortcut, but as an FYI, I was using this shortcut/install app on my Windows 10 laptop already, so for myself, I have to confirm each time I try to open it for the first time on the other device. Both are using a web interface so it asks me to confirm that I want to receive messages from here...here being the tablet, or if I move back to the computer, then the computer. I'm not saying this well...basically you can't have Google Messages "open" in multiple locations via this web shortcut.
WHY does Verizon insist on being such jerks about this stuff. They don't even support their windows Message+ app anymore. So it's not even cross platform, yet they are strong arming you into using it as your primary texting app if you want access on a tablet. This is wrong on so many levels. And I haven't had any success with Your Phone, either. I had given up and resorted to using Message+ but I lost my ability to easily copy and paste pictures and bitmojis into my messages.
So long winded...but wanted to provide more information in case it might help someone else, and to inquire a bit on the app that was referenced. I downloaded the version you posted and it will install on the phone but not the tablet.
I got Call and Text on Other Devices installed on my note8 and preinstalled on my SM-P200 sammy tablet, but on my tablet it doesn't have the phone or messages app from samsung. Can anyone help?
