Will Someone find a way to send messages on the Nexus S? I tried several sites but I did not understand much, and now I commend you to your esteemed forum for developers. For now I use an application (jaxtrsms) that sends text messages for free, but it is bad because it is always in memory and will not let me complete management.
My question is: when upgrading to google ICS will solve the problem?
There are already solutions to the failure to send text messages (frustrating!!)? If yes, someone can help me?
BIG THANKS
There are 3 ways I know of to message:
SMS through your carrier
SMS through Google Voice (free)
Gtalk or other web-based client (free)
However, you need data connectivity for all web-based methods above. So either wifi of 2/3G/4G through your carrier. Other than that I have no idea on what you're actually asking for.

Hi,
I'm looking for a software for my HTC S730 which enables me to send SMS via my Voip account from the Internet.
I found http://www.smsoip.be/ but it doesn't work on my HTC S730.
Please help me.
Thanks a lot!!!
Anyone???
There must but some software for SMS over Voip for Smartphone.... right??
sms software
do a search on fring, great bit of voip software. good for voip sms, sips, etc, using it on my spv m3100 with sipgates.co.uk sips account
Are you sure fring is also for voipsms? I dont think so...
thanks
please, anyone?? i want voipsms software for WM standard
WTF
cmon ppl!!!!!!!
hoping for the same thing, you would think there should exist a small app, but apparently there isn't...hopefully someone gets inspired and makes one
Humm.. SMS over VoIP? Is it possible? VoIP would need to provide an SMS gateway; which a phone carrier wouldn't...
How about an alternate solution? Email to SMS/SMS to Email gateways, specifically because they exist? If you find a way to send SMS over the telephone system, let me know.
[edit]
I was being to cocky. Looks like Skype provides; but read that wikipedia article anyway.
[edit2]
There are some web sites that will send SMS (that would be, other than the carriers themselves)... I just found CallWave.

yea there are website, but its real annoying to open a browser, type the address in, and then type the message. there are programs that do what we're asking so its not impossible, they're just tailored for the pocketpc (SMSoIP, IPSMS to name a few)
yea thats right... so voipsms is popular. but no app for SP yet!!

ya, it blows my mind too, lol unless there is and ppl aren't sharing
lol i'm guessing its not possible.... i ran into a program called fring which i think does allow you to do this, but just curious if we can do this without a 3rd party app
NO and NO! FRING does not allow you to do SMS via VOIP.
Im just really surprised by the lack of interest in this topic.
Do you people even know what SMS via VOIP means? It means FREE SMS TO ALL COUNTRIES WITH YOUR NUMBER AS SENDER (e.g. with VOIPBUSTER)

lol ok good thing you cleared that up, didn't liike fring anyways was sapping a little too much memory for my liking. ahhhh jus frustratin to see no one has a solution to this
i think maybe just write an email to ur VOIP provider like voipbuster or voipstunt and ASK them... they know better
someone suggested
gsm.voipbuster.com and download the java software.
any other ideas=??
Yup like the title says, is there an app for this?? It'll be awesome if i can send txt using Wifi....
EDIT: btw this is possible on Iphone, look here:
http://beta.gogii.com/v/textplus.html
Send texts over wifi -- no cell, edge or 3G required

I'm sure there are services, but those aren't standard text messages. They don't come from your phone number- rather, you send your message to a third party (the service) and their gateway sends it for you.
There are a lot of services that offer it for "free" (usually on a limited trial / adware basis), and a whole lot more that offer it for cheap, bulk rates (e.g. a cent or two a message).
A lot of them are available for Java- you can take your pick by googling "free java text message" or "free text message windows mobile."
I can't recommend any specific one, but note that they won't be text messages coming from your phone- and in some cases, you won't be able to receive replies. Lots of services are one-way or glitchy at best.
Just to let you know:
Betamax Voip services such as the one I am using, Voipdiscount does provide the service you are longing for. The SMS' sender number that shows on the receiver's phone IS your phone number.
There is a condition for this though: when you first register a mobile phone number (you only have to do this once), they automatically call you back and have you entering a code to make sure you are not faking someone else's phone number.
Once they've made sure you are the owner of this phone number, you can keep sending SMS from the internet and they just look like any SMS you've sent from your mobile phone.
Enjoy!
I searched on Google and tried all the websites but none of them shows anything about registration.........and some other sites even said Betamax is a fraud or something....
can u link me the proper page plz?
basically, that GOGII program contacts their systems for the purposes of sending a text message, if you were to get hold of the binary application, you could figure out their SMS server on the internet and then write your own program to send SMS messages - you could do it from a PC, PDA, whatever has internet.
anyone got a jailbroken iPhone handy?
i dont know if there is a wm version of icq, i used to txt ppl with icq all the time! they dont even have to have icq, u just put their # on a contact and use the sms service
most wireless providers have a web form for sms, tho usually restricted to ppl using that carrier and almost always annoying captcha ugh
hope this helps!

Betamax is not a fraud, I've been using their service for 3 years now, I would have noticed!
the proper link in my case is: www.voipdiscount.com but there are pleinty other sites belonging to betamax. Each has different discounts to call different countries. You should check them out and compare to know which one fits your needs best.
I want to know why some Apps read my SMS...
Downloaded "Go Keyboard" from the market and I think it is a nice App. But when I read the (German) comments, some people complaint about that this App can read your SMS.
What do you think?
Sent from Nexus S Limited Edition
If the keyboard should be smart it needs to learn from your typing. One way is to read your SMS/texts or emails.
So you think this is important for the app to work properly and can be neglected?
Maybe sounds like a stupid question but I am still an Android beginner.
Anyway there is nothing important in my messages that I should worry about...

As nothing is save on the internet... it's up to you. The app isn't unknown and widely spread/used, I'd not worry about giving the requested permission.
Other apps however... different story. Rethink your decision everytime an app requests permissions.
If the app works w/o that specific permission is something I don't know. There's an app that can restrict specific permissions, requires root and I sadly don't remember the name right now.
Of course an app can work without certain permissions. But those permission make it more powerful and add functions. If you chopped off your arms, you couldn't entertain someone with juggling could you ?

Just saying
I wondered the same thing! I recently switched to KelLMSKing MIUI Mod and now when I get an SMS, I get two notifications. One is Car Locator wants to read my SMS. It is a GPS App where I can save my car's position in a parking lot and find it easily again. I have no idea why it would want to intercept my SMS messages, so I Deny it.. I looked it up and apparently in some countries, you can pay for parking by text message, and receive reminders that time is running out. That's a feature I'll never use, so I'll just tell it to remember to always Deny that request. The other notification is from Touchdown, which gets my Exchange Server emails for work.. I'm not sure what SMS it would be looking for, so I'll deny them, too
As for the keyboard, I have no idea why it would want to read incoming messages or how that would help it to learn your style.
I think it's more of a perusal of the messages for commonly typed words so that it knows the best words to recommend and predict. Like a scan, to add your speech to the dictionary.
I don't believe any developer is sitting up at night reading my texts. If he is, he should hit me back and help me out with some of my problems. <_<
What is Facebook's excuse then?
edit SMS or MMS
Allows application to write to SMS messages stored on your device or SIM card. Malicious applications may delete your messages.
receive SMS
Allows application to receive and process SMS messages. Malicious applications may monitor your messages or delete them without showing them to you.
read SMS or MMS
Allows application to read SMS messages stored on your device or SIM card. Malicious applications may read your confidential messages.

Facebook just blatently wants info to target you for advertising... but because theyre so big most people don't care
Facebook needs that permission to verify your account. Afair there's an option to add your mobile# to your fb account.
An application in the market that has been around awhile should be fine. Google will remove malicious software as soon as they know about it. It is new apps asking these permissions that I would be weary of. I use the Go keyboard myself and love it with royal purple neon theme.

Hi all:
I am a developer for an app that forwards SMS (and other things) to an email address. Obviously it would be elegant to be able to reply to your SMS right from your email account, while the other side still sees your SMS in the normal way, and the app does exactly this.
But to get the reply back to the phone via email, we need the user to enter the email-to-SMS address as part of setup. You know, like [email protected] or @vtext.com. The app has a database for some countries and carriers but obviously its a drop in the bucket.
We are finding out that maybe not a lot of people know of such a feature on their phones, hence this poll! It'll help us try some other ideas, or implement this one differently.
Thanks!
PVS
PhoneLeash - free on Android Market
Rogers (in Canada) has this service.. but they charge us for it. So not many people actually have it.
Thanks to everyone who responded. As a result of the poll results, PhoneLeash now supports forwarding SMS (and missed calls, and location, and battery status) to another phone number via SMS. And replying back to these forwarded SMS' does not require an email-to-SMS feature. If you forward to a Google Voice number (or other PC-based SMS-capable services such as HeyWire, Pinger), you can use a PC, and enjoy a very nice feature set (see this review).
Thanks for the useful development for mobile users and internet users as well.
However, I'm already using this service with the help of third party i.e. TextMarketer.co.uk
Play (Poland) already has such a service. It is free for everyone. Polish speakers can check it here: http://www.blogplay.pl/2010/11/kopia-sms-na-email-beta/
Hi together,
I am searching for an Android app I can use to write and read my SMS via Browser/PC.
Should be very easy and simple and not oversized with the need to get too much access rights like e.g. pushbullet etc.
Would be great if someone would give some tipps for that
Thanks in advance

i was searching for a specific solution... found this post... figured i'd share with you what i've learned so far.
i've been using "sprint with google voice integration" for a year or so. it provides the ability to text via the google/voice webpage. but - while the google voice (full) allows you to use SMS, MMS, gifs / attachments, etc. - "the sprint with google voice integration" just allows you to do SMS.
so i was (and still am) considering switching to google voice (full) but it would cost me ~ $60 to get my phone number ported to google voice ($40 to sprint for activation of old phone to avoid losing subsidy on new phone and $20 to google voice).
i found this website which lists apps that you can use which (i believe all) receive the text on your phone then send it to the web and notifies you on the web browser if you have the webpage open. however, because i need to be able to send & receive messages when my phone is off, i think that the only option is google voice.
