Hi all, I've been looking for an app that lets me send texts over data to someone's phone, but will notify me when I regain a data connection of a message received when data/wifi is off. For example, AIM mobile let's me text other's phones over a data connection, but if data is disabled when i receive a message, that message is lost, as I will not get a notification when my data connection turns on. I lose my data connection periodically throughout the day, and I only have a limited amount of texts for messaging to phones outside verizon. Does anyone know of an app which has the "offline messages" feature? thanks in advance!!

Any way for WM6.1 messaging to auto resend SMS/MMS if the message is originally sent when there is no phone connection and it is later restored?
I used to have a Motorola phone that prompted something like "Data connection not available. Do you wish to resend when connection is restored?" This would resend it if there was a connection without any actions from me.
I travel in places with no connection (like in subway). With my Moto, i was able to write a text message, set it for auto send, and would find that it would send if/when i momentarily had a connection while moving. This freed me from having to monitor my "bars" for a connection to send text.
I was wishing for the same thing. I've had 3 blackberries & the all do this. Pretty sad that WM6.1 doesn't.
I use wireless tether regularly and have noticed that while in a tethered state, the phone no longer receives texts or voicemails.
Is this a "feature" of Google Voice? Making me keep voice open on my browser to notice any incoming messages?
Any way around this?
wierd bc I always tether my laptop w/my phone and dont have any problems whatsoever when 'I'm on the phone,txting, or browsing the web. I'm on stock 2.3.4
Maybe I should have been more specific.
Data will still go to the phone while tethering. I can browse, send texts, etc. It will even receive pushed emails & their notifications.
It will not receive text messages or voicemails though, until after I turn off the tethering.
My suspicion is that it has to do with Voice, and particularly with Sprint's integration of voice.
I finally decided to install this app to see how well it works. I noticed when reading up about it that you have the ability to send a message to a phone number through this app.
How exactly does that work? Does it use the data connection (therefore not counting as an SMS message on your phone plan)?
I'm on the Verizon network and have unlimited messaging to other Verizon numbers, but only 500 messages to phones on other carriers. Before I used this app I wanted to make sure I understand how that was going to affect that number.
Can anyone clear this up for me?
Maybe someone can help me...
I'm running Thundershed 1.6 and using the stock messaging app. I've also been using Llama for awhile now and have been playing around with actions to turn off data (similar to JuiceDefender). I have it set so that Llama waits 1 minute after my screen turns off and then turns off data. When the screen turns on, mobile data is turned back on.
What I am noticing (don't know when this started) is that I do not get regular, standard SMS messages when the screen is off. As soon as I turn the screen on... I get the message. I was under the impression that SMS had nothing to do with my mobile data. What is JD doing differently that allowed me to get my texts when screen was off?
MMS messages are retrieved via mobile data. SMS messages use cell towers. As long as you don't have it set up to turn off cell reception and the other person is sending it as an SMS, you should still receive your texts. I've noticed that sometimes iPhone users texts come through as an MMS even if there's no picture.
Hello, Is there a messaging app that actually uses the wifi connection to send/receive text messages? Out where I live, if I try to send messages, it takes a super long time for them to go through. Sometimes they don't go through the first time and I have to walk to the door and try again. However, my wifi connection is full strength, high speed. I have no idea why it won't use the wifi connection to send/receive txts.
I have gone through the whole list of "fixes", and none of them work. It's not in Airplane mode, the app cache has been cleared, the network settings have been reset, the sim card has been removed and reinserted, the app has been removed/reinstalled, tried using different messaging apps (so far used the one that came with it, Cricket Messages or what ever it is, and Google Messages, as well as a few others). Nothing seems to work.
I would like an app that uses the wifi, at least, to send my messages out, and doesn't have ads or in-app purchases. Is there such an app that gets good reviews and isn't some sort of spyware?
I will not use FB messenger, if that's an option. I don't use Instagram, either.
