Hey guys, I'm about to get a new Galaxy S2 (AT&T) and I was thinking about porting my number over to google voice. If i do this, could I cancel my text messaging plan and use google voice to text?
u could however you would only be able to text from a computer. ur phone will still register any message received as an incoming text and charge u the standard domestic rate per message.
is that really the case...I have numerous numbers registered on google voice, and you can specify in settings which ones can receive text messages...
I would assume that if you set them all to not, it wouldn't forward any txt messages sent to your GV number to any of your other numbers...
so you'd be able to get your txt messages on their website or the android apps...which shouldn't incure any txt msg charges
hey xda,
Just picked up an ATT HOX and noticed outbound texts don't seem to working.
I know there is a report for inbound text message notifications, but this one seems to be new.
Anybody else seeing similar issues? Any thoughts?
Thanks!

I am having a problem where about 20% of my MMS messages don't go through.. I have to go into the sms app and click resend and then they go through.
When I picked up the phone I had the same problem. I had to change from the non-LTE data plan to the LTE plan when I activated the phone. When I called tech support after realizing I wasnt getting messages it took her about 20 minutes of trying different things to ask if I had text messaging in my plan. I said of course, and she said it was not shown in my current services. After putting that back on the plan, it worked like a charm. Not sure why it got dropped when nothing else was to be changed on my plan. You might want to double check your plan.
Hrm... thanks for the replies! I'll look into those suggestions.
Right now the phone can receive, just not send SMS. It's supposed to have a text plan, but i'll verify that with ATT.
Even if it didn't have a text plan though, isn't ATT's default behavior to still send the text message and charge the ad hoc rate per message?

hi, i have a us cellular gs3 (no section for us cellular gs3) running aokp_dcusc_jb-mr2_milestone-2 and i'm having trouble sending texts to an email, i've never had this problem in the past with any phone or any other rom on this phone. what its doing is trying to send it as a mms instead of a text. i'm not sending a pic just a few words. i'm using the default message app "com.android.mms version 4.3.1-eng.sethyx.20131218.013055". i've tried other messaging apps and they're all doing the same thing. i'm on page plus and my data is in and out so i have my data turn off all the time, even still i've been able to sent texts to an email without data as a text not a sms. any help (besides suggesting to switch roms) would be greatly appreciated.
Does anyone know how to remove the call back number on every single sms message I receive? Even if the person has it turned off on their phone it still shows up on mine when they send me a message. I would just use another messaging app because that fixes the problem but then I can send mms messages. I'm on a local carrier and can't find the settings to put in to fix this either. Any help is appreciated thanks.
*can't send mms I meant to say.
Is there a trick to getting MMS picture messages to send from this phone when used on the T-Mobile network? My friend bought the version of the phone from Amazon and updated the APN settings according to https://apn.gishan.net/settings/877_12_t-mobile_apn_settings_for_huawei_honor_6x.php but still is unable to send picture messages to me (I'm on AT&T and Google Voice). They look like they send from her end, but I never get them or any indication that there was an attempted MMS sent. Any thoughts?
