Anyone know how to use a third party app like chompsms or handcent with Google Voice for sending and receiving text messages? Thx!!

edit:
you could have your texts forwarded to your reg cell number and route it through the sms app of your choice
Hi,
I am looking for an application similar to voice dialing but which can write sms
I dictate and my phone write the sms. Do you know any software capable of doing this please?
Thanks
I've searched the market and this forum fairly extensively. I'm looking for a hands free app that reads google voice sms. Is there a reason no one does this?
As for Google Voice text message alerts, the new version of the Google Voice app has a feature in the settings under 'sync and notifications' for 'receive text messages' which when I set it to 'also via messaging app' which makes the received Google Voice text messages work with the third party apps that I have installed which are SMS Popup and Tasker. So, I have Tasker speaking out load the text message if it is from certain contacts. Seems like the Google Voice app now has native integration using this setting.
Verizon must be weird, because if I check that setting, I get charged for each text coming in through google voice.
On my galaxy nexus, I used an app called messaging plus Google voice to optionally send text messages from my Google voice number (fo free).
It doesn't appear to be supported in Kit Kat, and surprisingly the new and improved hangouts doesn't support this either.
This was a great option for me to help manage my text messaging plan. Does anyone have an alternative?
- Thanks, Kevin

Why don't you use google voice app to send text messages from your GV number?

The other app had them (both google voice and regular text messages) consolidated in a single view. The gv interface lacks usability IMO, and hangouts seems like the perfect place. It is a shame that the messaging + gv broke in kit Kat.

In Google voice app on Android, Settings--> Sync and Notifications --> click Receive Text Messages" and select Messaging app.
Now, any text sent to the Google voice number will show up in Hangouts.
Sending is a little more complicated.
I can’t compose a new message in hangouts to a ‘new’ sender from my GV number(one that I haven’t received a message from into hangouts).
But if I send a message to my GV number (from an unrelated number), it shows up in my hangouts app with a seemingly random number (GV assigns a different intermediary number to each sender in GV – existing functionality)
If I now respond to that message in hangouts, it shows my GV number instead of my regular number.
True integration should be coming later this year though.

Thanks for the heads up. I had that set already, trying to get the other app to work. I guess I have not gotten any GV messages on my new phone! and thanks for the info on the future integration (I hope).

Also look for VoIP calling using hangouts later this year
The only real integration you can get until Google adds support, is through CyanogenMod 11. There is a framework modification called Voice+ that synchronizes your Google voice inbound/outbound messages to either the stock messenger or hangouts. It even automatically routes MMS through your phones real number.
Just to be clear this is what it does:
Your friend texts your google voice number > your default SMS app shows notification with their real number (not their GoogleVoice routing number) > you reply in your default sms app > they recieve the text from your Google Voice number.

Yeah, that is what the Messaging Plus GV app did (sort of) It was a stock replacement app and you managed everything from within it. GV conversations were a separate thread, but the originating number did not change.
- Thanks, kevin

i just purchased this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.klinker.android.messaging_donate
and it works with GV. you still have to have the GV app installed.
NOTE: its a separate messaging app
There are many apps that will allow you to export/import text messages from the base messaging storage, but there doesn't seem to be one that gets anything from google voice. Regardless of whether I'm texting from my phone or from the voice app on my phone or computer, everything (sms) is in voice. Thanks for reading.
