I am wondering if anyone knows of any way to send and receive text messages from a Mac, for example if I get a text message I get a Growl notification on my Mac, and can reply to the text message from my computer. I would like to not have to touch the phone preferably, since I keep it in my bag.
You can use google voice, it is free and you get a different number too. Then you can have google forward you the text msg to mail and with a plugin have the growl notification pop up

for some reason my phone wont send long txt messages but will send short ones..i have a signal. im using handcent sms on the htc evo. whenever i try to send a long txt message my phone just sits there and then says message not sent. it just fails to send all long messages. what can i do about this? is this common?
It's happening because you are on a CDMA network (sprint) which limit your sms messages to 160 characters. Handcent is not initially set up to split any message over 160... You have to go into the settings and select that option.

Hey guys,
I'm wondering if it's possible to send multiple texts/group texts on 7.5 MANGO.
It's for the Samsung Focus.
I did some thread searching and they were all old (WP7). Every time I try the group text/multiple text, it responds with "Can't send"
I was just wondering if anyone has found a fix for this, aside from using the Bulk SMS app.
Thanks!
The count is limited to 10. How many did you add ?
the same, i can not send sms to 2 people on hd 7
In the Messaging settings, turn off 'Group text' and then try.
It worked for me.
With Group text ON, it considers the text messages as MMS, and fails to send.
Here is a silly question but if you send 10 SMS or MMS messages, do you get charged for 10 by your provider of do they all count as one?
Each msg is sent seperately so charges are for each sms

Hey. I received this message on my phone. Does anyone know how this could have been sent as it does not appear to be a regular sms as u can see and plus, the message is of a political nature, thing that I do not want to be a part of. I think it's from my mobile carrier and I am going to make a big scene if that's the case. Any ideas if anyone other than the cell carrier can send this type of notification?

L.E.: ok, so i did some digging around and i found this:
A Flash SMS message is a text message that you can send to an individual that stands out from the rest. Whereas a normal text message would be routed to the recipient's text message inbox, a Flash SMS will display on the screen of the recipient's mobile device. This is a great feature for when you have a text message that you want someone to read immediately.
Seems that anyone can send this type of notification using an app available on play store..
not good
As soon as I see that picture, yeah, no doubt it's just a popup notification because it says "Phone" on the window, which probably from 2 things. One from apps notification, and one from flash sms. Most of it, flash indeed.
I don't like that!

These are Operator PUSH notifications.
Can be disabled from Settings->Call->Cell Broadcast
Uncheck the "Cell Broadcast", or you can change the channels.
Generally Channel 50 is used for Location info (that used to get displayed under operator logo in older phones).
But you can disable them as we have more advanced system for getting the location (via GPS + Cell Info). :victory:
But it can also be show by some malicious apps installed.
I got pretty excited when I saw the Messages app and read that it would sync texts to tablets, so I figured I'd give it a try. After 5 tries, it hasn't worked yet. Each time, it says "AT&T Messages setup not complete." I tap "retry," I get a text that says "This is an automated message, please ignore. (some random gibberish)," and then a red text notification that says the setup is not complete.
Is this app even worth trying to make work? I used to use Mighty Text and that would send my texts to my HP Touchpad -- sometimes.
You're better off with mighty text I used that when I had a Nexus 7. Very cool to text from the tablet. Not sure why you had issues though. My only problem was I couldn't recieve or send mms or see emojis when txting with people with iphones.

I am considering getting this watch. However, one important question:
My Nexus 4 is running data only (No Voice Plan). I use Skype for phone calls and Sliding Messenger (through Google Voice) for Text Messages. Will I be able to see Incoming Calls from Skype? Will I be able to see and respond to text messages through Sliding Messenger (Google Voice)?
TIA!
i think you can see who is calling you from skype by using watchit! app that push notifications from your phone to skype. but you won't have answer/decline funcionality.
you will be able to see your text messages but you can't respond to them - i think to do that you need 3rd party app that gives you keyboard funcionality.
Just seeing who is calling and an indication of missed calls would be enough.What is the link for the watchit! App?
Likewise, just seeing the text messages would be enough. I can reply from my phone. So, there is a way to see the text messages even though they would NOT be coming into the Messaging App on the phone, but into Google Voice?
