Recommendations for free SMS app (cross platform)

I have been using WhatsApp on my vibrant to chat with friends overseas on iPhone and BlackBerry, however the developer has no plans to support tablets :-(
Any recommendations for good cross platform free SMS?
Thanks.

Yahoo messenger, google voice?

I'm using an App called textPlus, works great on my Transformer.

This looks interesting but doesn't support BlackBerry which is what most of my contacts in Indonesia use.

Ok...what's the catch? This cannot be this good and save me money at the same time!
TextPlus is awesome!
Before I cancel my texting plan on two phones....can someone tell me something I need to know?
It's just too good to be true.

I tried to install it on my transformer via market and it says its not compatible with my country. I live in Canada so guess its a no go for us canucks

It's a free app so maybe you could try and sideload it? (get the apk.file, install with a file manager)

I managed to find it from another website, I have tried a couple versions now and did finally get one to work. Textplus does work pretty well, sent a few messages to my g/fs phone and back and no lag at all.

Also @ the OP another decent Cross-Platform Messaging App is "PingChat", works on Android, iOS, and Blackberry's

Hey, fello Canuck, can you tell me where you found it.
I've been having a heck of a time trying to get it.
Thank you for your time.

This is really cool, but is there a way that I can have something such as google voice mirror my personal number to my textab number? You know, so if say, my wife texts me to mycellphone, that my phone still recieves the message, but it is forwarded to my text apps' number on my tab?

This is exactly what I need. I use a flip phone for my beater, so it would be nice if the texts that come to it would also come to the TF so I can reply there when I am near wireless...
Anyone know of a way to do this?

hey i just downloaded it and the thing that i noticed is that whenever i turn off my screen it looks like an old tv.
Also for some reason i cant receive text unless im using google voice, this happened to me on the previous one to. like i use to get my message before i downloaded voice, but ever since i downloaded it i cant receive it weird. Any ideas?

I figured out how to make it not look like an old TV, but I'm still having problems with the text messages.

Sprint did a Google Voice integration back in April.

The language packs are not 100% ported over to english. I would get notifications in chinese. No idea what they were for...
The menu system is completely different than android. I spent 5 minutes trying to figure out how to add my gmail account.
Anyone use the sense 3.0 style lockscreen?
I know this post is kind of random, but I used the rom for a bit, and then reverted back to my stock rooted GB rom. Would like to spend more time with this rom, and see it it would suit me on a day to day basis.

At&t Messages App

My At&t rep made a store visit today and showed me this app. It's one app that displays your voice mails, texts and call log. I just installed it and got it setup, haven't messed with it that much but it looks cool.
Android Market link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.att.android.mobile.attmessages&feature=search_result

i saw that in the market today. but didnt mess with it. ill try it out

I don't think it plays well with wifi. Since installing it my wifi times out even though the sleep policy is set to never. If anyone else can confirm this let me know.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App

I like it so far...nothing super exciting, but works well.

My phone says it's not with AT&T, even though it is.
Maybe this is an Infused 2.02 problem.
Note: This only happens when I'm browsing on my laptop to download it from there. It works directly from the phone. VERY strange~

Be careful about this app. I installed it this morning and didn't like it so I took it back off. It took me >2 hours to get AT&T to fix my voicemail box again. Even once it was "fixed" I can't access it through the regular voicemail numbers, but have to dial my own number, so it still isn't really fixed.
It takes over text messaging and voicemails, so if you don't want to use it for texting don't install it. There may be a way to get it to allow texting through another app but I didn't see it.

I got my text messaging working fine as soon as I uninstalled the app, it just interfered while installed. That's what I didn't like about it. What I was warning about is it FUBAR's your voicemail. It does warn you that it's removing your voicemail-box but it doesn't tell you that it'll take an act of Congress to get voicemail working again. lol

I uninstalled it to test. I held 1 on dialpad and got into my VM fine?

Did you completely set up the messages app? If so, maybe I was just lucky enough to have problems. lol. I don't think it clears vm until after the app setup is complete. It removed the basic voicemail from my account but apparently messed some other stuff up behind the scenes. If it works for everybody else then just ignore me.

The phone app needs some work, definitely. More settings, sure, but the wifi issue is the biggest problem for me. It turns off at least once per hour (or every other hour). It does seem to be a bit sluggish as well in terms of how the app feels.
The website isn't too bad, though. I love that you can capture audio and video. I've been waiting for google to have web-based MMS for a long while now and AT&T did it! The quality could be a bit better on the audio and video, but for a beta, it's tolerable.
And the notifier app is nice, but I wish I could type more text in the reply field.
All in all, given that it's a beta, it's not bad. Needs love in a few areas, but once those are worked out I think it'll be a nice system to use.

Does anyone have the APK for this app? I uninstalled it cause it was turning my WIFI on and off, but now it's no longer in the market so I can't get it again?

thats because the infused rom was made on the rogers network. not at&t. so thats probably why it wont work

No i was taking about the AT&T Messages app that was out on the market. It's no longer in the market. I was asking if someone had the apk for the AT&T MESSAGES app. I no this app is on other AT&T android phone cause my friend has the Atrix and i was checking it out on his phone. So i no this app is available for other AT&T android phones.

Here it is. I found it in the Atrix forum
Oops. Sorry. I should have read further and seen that it was you looking for it. Sorry for the false alarm.

Probably not the one he is looking for.
doost650 - I replied in your Atrix thread.

It was working fine for me for 6 days and now all of a sudden started messing with my wifi. Kept turning on by itself. So I uninstall it luckly I didn't have that VM problem like some of you guys mention. My VM still works but its still using that new AT&T Messages VM.

wif-fi calling apk

It requires kernel support.

Possible? I have already rooted her phone.

There are special libs that work with Kineto.apk. They are located in /system/lib, they are:
libganril.so
libkineto.so
librilswitch.so
They all must be on the phone to make wifi calling work. Will they work flawlessly on her phone? I honestly don't know, but that's how it is on the G2x. I never even heard of that phone

I'll try pushing
libganril.so
libkineto.so
librilswitch.so
into her system/lib folder and see what happens. Do i need to link these shared obj files or can i just place them?

You're aware that wifi calling only work on tmobile and the admire is not a tmobile phone, it will NOT work.

Yes i am aware that the wifi calling apk is for t mobile. I figured i might give it a try though and see what happens. Maybe thats a dead end. So, I have nettalk on her phone at the moment but it only works on out going calls and gives her a different number. I need something similar to t mobile wi-fi calling that allows her to keep her number? I am willing to buy from the market. One time fee though. Nothing like pay per call or credited accounts. Ideas?

Use Google voice, sign up from the web, it'll give you a phone number, that can be linked to her phone.

There is no way the T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling app will work for you. Regardless of if you can get the app to run on the phone, it requires specific support on the carrier side to work.

Yeah i have thought about doing that but from what I've heard, she gets assigned a GV number and is not able to keep her old one. It's like having a whole new number. then she would have to hand that out. Thats why i have been hesitant and left this as my last resort. But hey, something is better than nothing any day in my book!!
Or am i wrong? Does she get to keep/use her old one?
@andrewNY, yeah i was hoping that wasn't the case, thanks for confirming though!

You can set it up to keep both numbers, that's how I had it set up, only if you set it up to not replace the mumber.

Voicemail Notification

Hi guys,
I got one of those beauties just recently and absolutely love it.
Only one thing that I couldn't work out:
The phone doesn't send me voicemail notification. So when someone calls and leaves a voicemail, it does not send a message to my phone, saying that I have new voicemail. Do I need an app for that?
Thanks for help!

I would suggest calling att or whichever carrier you have if the issue came out of the box. They likely didn't provision the account properly.

Are you able to call into your voice mail? If so does it let you set it up or access it like normal? In any case att needs to reset your voice mail, if none of these things resolve the issue you should be escalated to their tech support so they can look into detailed settings from your voice mail.
