Hi,
I've been using HeyWire for free international texting and now they suddenly withdrew the int'l coverage. Am wondering if there's an alternative out there?
Regards,
Nibras.
Yeah I installed it about 10 minutes ago and there's no international sms, they really should edit their description.

Yup and a lot of people seem to be disappointed. They might bring it back if a large user base objects it. Btw, did you find an alternative?
Try What's App. It's got a funny name, but it works.

What's App has no SMS support, right? It's an IM platform, isn't it? Something like Kik messenger or Blackberry messenger.

Thanks for posting about this! I'd never heard of it but now I'm very excited. I just applied for the beta. I'm wondering if walking down to their office tomorrow and begging in person will get my invite any faster! Should I do it?!
i find a conflict in one of the founders of Microsoft spending $20 million for software for a competing platform.
why not develop Kiha for Microsoft if he believes in the product so much?
i'd be afraid of getting the app and have it dumb down my phone or in some way make it so we want to change over to Microsoft of something....it's a conspiracy i tell you
Koush works for kiha. He was heavily involved in this project.

I would contact their tech support, I'm sure there is a way to report bugs since it is a beta.

So I received there invite to the beta last night and I was very excited about it. Until I started filling out the info etc and started seeing how they collected all my data of all the sites I visit on my PC and phone (um nooo thanks). And something to the effect that them and 3rd parties can look at my emails and passwords, basically stalk me!! And as I kept reading I started getting more freaked out like WTF for real?? And then I decided not to go further or use it! The real kicker was when they told me that after the beta is over that I should change my emails password?!!?!?!?!? HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLZ NO, NOT USING THIS BS!!!
I'm sticking to what I've been using which is Gmail and AOL mail... I've good thus far and I'm sure I'll continue to do so from this point on lol
I really don't advise anyone to use this crap, I mean by all means you can If you don't mind handing over all your info etc- Just read all they ask for and then tell me if you start to feel bothered!!??
does anyone has this app?
or at least know where can we get it?

Does someone have it already?
Its says on live blog that "Android: Client comes pre-installed for T-Mobile users in the US."
Any Tmobile user can confirm this?
SOURCE
It wouldnt matter if you got it. Its run through a proxy server using tmobiles network. It's not usable over wifi and has not yet been patched to be used by anybody not on that network.
Thats the last I heard of it anyway.

I've seen a few, one which is no longer available on the market called 'android voice changer' you can find it through google, it's got a built in dialer that runs through their server and you only get 2 minute conversations for free, if you want longer you must pay for credit. Also its only available for the USA! I've been looking for a UK version for ages to trick workmates, just not any available :/

Yeah I've seen some that let you for a few mintues...not really what I'm looking for.
And its just to have some fun no harm in that
So the update was supposed to bring access to pages. I don't see it anywhere. Where is it?
So its out that no one knows, or that its obvious and I'm retarded? Just curious why no one has responded.
I see no difference either.
Feel better?

facebook needs to stop favoring iphone and give android some love. The app really sucks...
Just tried to email their app support and they won't even accept them. I post an screenshot later
Video upload is not reliable at all too. 8 out of 10 videos I tried to upload end up getting stuck.

The FB app by FB is garbage its plain and bland.
I started using another app for FB called Flow (There name is changed to friendcaster now the dav partnered with handmark makers of tweetcaster)
The app is excellent in nearly every aspect except one, the fact that you cant send a message from the application itself (Due to FB removing that portion of the API to only acknowledge the official FB app)
Theres a free version and a pro version on the market and its worth a try.
One of my friend's and I text a lot (well, we did) until her dad noticed we were texting at late hours and he blocked my number on her phone....so she cannot send texts to me and my texts don't get to her. This was all while she had a "dumb" phone, but recently she got an SIII.
Is there any way to get around this now that she has a smartphone? I'm talking about regular texts and not having to use a special app (i.e. Facebook, Skype, etc.) to send texts back and forth. She is currently unrooted and thus running stock JB obviously.
Would rooting do the trick? A certain rom out there maybe? Or is there some sort of process one can do to "unblock" my number on her phone?
Uggghh. I hate that I will have to be that dad one day soon. Thank God I am smart enough to thwart you young men.

Haha if I had a daughter Im sure I'd be doing the same thing....
But there has gotta be a way/hack/fix around it....
I am assuming that the block is on the account side, meaning she would need the vzw.com account password to unblock. If it was done on the phone itself I would imagine a factory reset would remove the block. Why dont you want to use third party apps like whatsapp? Some apps (can't think of names) can send free texts to legit cell numbers.

A Factory Reset on an unrooted, fully stock S3 will fix it you think? What about her apps? Does Titanium Backup work fully on unrooted, stock phones? I haven't been unrooted in a longggggg time.
Can't you just use an app like tikl or tango just to sent the texts. I know you said no third party apps but they are free and if they work sounds much easier than having her root and find a hack.

I know they are free and I know that we could text that way.....the reason why I want to be able to send regular texts to/from our regular numbers is because I tether constantly, every day, and my phone stays in the window for the strongest LTE connection and I use Airdroid to view and send texts from my phone while on my pc......can't do that with a 3rd party app, I'd have to get up every single time to view/respond to the texts....

Not if she gets a third party texting app that allows her to text your number from the app and vice versa.

We are trying that now with Pinger...her sending me a text from her Pinger # to my regular cell number.....but surprisingly its not working....Is this the method you were talking about?
Do you know of another app that will actually work in this way?
Well we got it to work for the time being via the HeyFree app.
Soo many third party apps will work.
Factory reset, root, custom rom will have no effect.
And what are you guys like 11? Haha got her dad blocking your number, I'm weak.
Sounds like my younger childhood

My personal favorite is Google voice. Completely free, it can be used through the browser as well. Its also a wonderful visual voicemail client of sorts.

I second that. It seems best to use Google Talk or Facebook Messenger.... then you guys can be "chatting" but you can just do it from your desktop browser and she can do it on her phone.
OP, I saw you have another thread started trying to help this girl get around something else her father set up regarding the use of her phone. Let me, as the father of a 23 year old daughter, give you a little piece of advice.
He has blocked your number from texts and stopped her data at 10:30pm. He is doing that for a reason and apparently doesn't like you very much either. I understand that you think you are trying to help her, but what you are doing is causing yourself more problems with the dad. I am guessing that neither of you are very old, hence the curfew on the data. You are looking for "hacks" to get around what he has done to, what he thinks is for the betterment of his daughter. You would be better served to work on your relationship with him than to really piss him off by going against him. Just remember, Daddy's little girl is his entire world that he would gladly die for and you are going to get into more trouble that you can imagine or would ever want to be in by messing with her and his wishes.
My advice would be to get onto his good side if you haven't already screwed that up and you may find the "hacks" that you are looking for. Alternatively, you could put another phone on your plan and give it to her for texting. Good luck and remember that some things cannot be undone after you do them........
Seems like Google Voice could be a good solution.... You get a different phone # and you can send/receive texts from any PC at voice.google.com
I would say hhf2 had the best idea and option for you. You may not like it but it is the truth.

That is actual VERY incorrect. While a boy you would consider your little "mini me", a daughter is your princess. The biggest concern is that they are healthy. Sure there are things that a guy wants a son for, but make no mistake about it, there are things that you are just as proud of with a daughter.
