[Q] Anyway to integrate google voice sms into your phones messaging program?

I love google voice, but the only thing that is stopping me from using it as my main number is i dont like using the voice app to text. I do a lot of texting and i like the stock messaging interface (samsung captivate)
I know i can add that "other" number for each contact and that would work, but its really too much work and far from ideal.
anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: ive heard some use Handcent for sms, could it be integrated with this more easily?

[Q] any way to text mssg from the tablet?

Any apps out there to txt message from the tablet? Preferably with my actual number (not sure how that would work though).

There was a guy on the Xoom subforum that made an app that uses Dropbox (iirc) to 'sync' text messages.
You could use Google Voice, but then all of the messages are sent from and to your GV number.
I hope someone comes up with a way to easily sync between an Android phone's SMS client and an application on a tablet, so you can use the tablet to easily interact with SMS and MMS messaging.

it needs to be droid to droid.
works awesome.

Textfree is the best texting app out there that gives u a real texting number. U cannot find it in the app store *also* the newest version constantly crashes on the tablet. Here's a link to a working version of textfree

I haven't had any issues with it. I don't use it most of the time though cause my phone is usually on me.

thanks mate might just take the plunge and give it a go

Best Alternative App to Replace Unlimited Messaging Plan?

I'm considering dropping my unlimited texting plan and using an app in its place to save some money. I know I can use google voice for sms but is there an app that will allow sms and mms without requiring the other person to have the same app too? You can't send mms with google voice can you? I like the google voice idea because I can just use one number and not require anyone to use a special number just to text me. I think this could be a great discussion on how we can help each other find ways to save on our bills!
Edit: If this has already been discussed please direct me to that thread. Thanks!

I looked at the apps I used for sms and issue is that all of the one's I used were app to app. Best bet is google voice, maybe try some of the mass instant massaging apps, like ebuddy or palringo.

Only via some sort of software-based SMS bridge. The device itself has no phone # associated with it and thus can't interface directly with the US phone system. I prefer and reccomend Google Voice since its free and the app is decent. There are many other apps that can also do this job.

You can send and receive SMS with google voice.
Get a GV number, and load google's client.
You can recieve and send directly with the client. The web interface lets you configure gv to forward messages to other sms numbers and/or to email accounts. if you reply to an sms from the email account it will bridge back to the original senders SMS.
My only issue is that when I forward gv sms to phone sms and I reply from the phone, the messages come from the phone instead of bridging back through gv....if of reply from the gv client it is fine.
...this is an excellent solution for wifi only tablets.

Use Tablet talk and sync with bluetooth for both devices. It will allow you to text using your tablet only.

Desksms is going to release a native tablet app too

Looking for a way to send audio recordings through Hangouts?

Prior to owning the Nexus 5, I remember always having an option to attach video, picture, or voice memos straight from the text message app.. is there a way to do this with Hangouts?

You can try textra it is free and allows you to do all of this.

Thanks for the reply.. I'm looking for more of a workaround for Hangouts rather than a replacement.. Looks like there's no way to do it..

Yeah. I was really bummed when I found out Hangouts couldn't send anything other than pictures. iMessage on the stupid iPhone can do it. I don't see why Hangouts can't send videos since you're using a data connection and not the phone signal like SMS or MMS.

This is an old thread but I really want this feature! It would be super handy for people who work together but don't want to call and text all the time. Walkie talkie style, I suppose.

Can't understand why they don't have this feature either. I have a group with my children's grandparents and want to send them voice recordings and videos of the kiddies.

This is because google want you to send videos through Google plus so won't let you do it through hangouts. It's not good tbh as a lot of my friends won't use hangouts because of it. I hate messenger but if facebook does it then google should

Agree with all of you. I really want the ability to send a short video or audio clip in Hangouts. Too bad some genius at Google can't figure it out how to that yet.
I have a feeling those from Google don't use Hangouts for messaging. They created a product with crippled features.

Bump it up!
