Is there an app that can text messages using my cell phone number for Amazon Kindle Fire?
If u have sprint and Google voice u can do it.

Desk sms

Desk sms doesn't really work that well bc it just gets sent to your email and what not.. I would personally recommend tablet talk. Just make sure both phone and tablet are on the same wifi, run the program and sync. I use it a lot when I'm away from my phone

Google voice on everything.
Desksms works perfect. It will notify via google voice. This allows you to send and receive texts anywhere you have access to google voice as if it were sent from your phone.

Desk sms notifies to gtalk as well, look under notification options to change it. Best tablet to text app imo

Any other alternatives besides Tablet Talk and Desk SMS?
is there something in particular desksms doesn't do for you?

It costs money.
Not in the Android Market??
mightytext new version might do the job
i've signed up for the mightytext web beta which supposedly works in any browser... current version works only on chrome extension, but their web version is in private beta. maybe u can ask the dev for invite?
It is in the market. And it cost what 5/year I think it was, to cover his server costs... hardly spend for a solid app that adds such versatility to your phone

Desksms doesn't work. I don't see where to go with it. In fact, I don't think it can do any sms. Also google voice requires you to have the Kindle Fire to be able to hear your voice. That obviously do not work because the Fire doesn't have a mic.
I use it daily. It does work. And its the only solution I've seen for sending a text from another device that will appear to the recipient as though it came from your cell number which is what the original post specified.
You need google talk on your kindle and desksms on your phone. Set desksms to notify in google talk. You will then be able to send and receive texts in google talk. What its doing is forwarding and then sending from the phone. So your phone will need to be on and in service. This works for any device that has access to google talk

Does anyone have any ideas regarding alternative applications (besides sms/texting) that require a phone number working on the Fire?
Someone said in a different thread that you could have Whatsapp working by doing a Titanium restore, but it received messages on the Fire or the phone at random.
I am using desksms and it works fine. I use mighty text from the market and it works very well on my laptop. Hopefully they develop it further for tablets.

That's probably where I've gotten confused. I'm using an iphone 3g with no android app for this.

Here in Holland we have to pay to listen to our voicemail messages.
I was wondering if there is an app that does the following:
Auto picksup after 15-20 secs, then plays a message + beep, and then records a message on your phone locally.
This would save me alot of cash.
So does anyone knows an app like this?
Thanks!
I have recently started using Tasker. It can completely (almost) automatically. It can auto answer calls, play files and record calls. It can be fiddly, but is powerful and should do what you want (and more).

Hmm, it's kind of pricy.
I would like to try if this program offers what I want before I pay this much for it
I suggest Google Voice, its great for voicemails and whole variety of other features. It also has the ability to convert you voicemails into script which you read from your home screen what using any minute's. Here's a link for a demo

Hope its what you need.

Sounds great, but not available in my country yet
Google Voice is not available in your country.
Thanks for visiting Google Voice. We're not yet open for users outside the US, but are planning to expand our service to additional countries in the future.
That blows, is your phone rooted?

That has nothing todo with it, I can install Google Voice on my phone.
But I need to connect it to an gmail account, I have one but I have set all language settings to Unitaded states and I still get the message "your country is not supported"
I understand, the only other app I can think of is YouMail.

are you talking about youmail, or visual voicemail plus?
arent those kind of the same thing as google voice?
I like google voice, you can check you voicemail online, it transcribes(usually poorly, but but better than spring vvm, when i had my epic.)
Google Voice.

you make a lot of threads >_>
yep google voice. sux that any visual voice mail on att not on the iphone is considered a forwarded call and thus uses your minutes but atleast it's not a surcharge like on sprint to use call forward or use sprints transcription service. i used youmail a while back because for some reason on a stock captivate rom that phone wouldn't set call forwarding up to the google voice number for the life of me. if would just fail for no reason. yet it worked for the youmail number. on an i9000 rom my captivate set up google voice just fine. go figure. what i will say is that toe youmail transcription service works better but it is not free, they may still have a free trial for it though.

there is no other platform that has the 3rd party app support and dev comunity. the iphone ui sux. they are constantly doing hacks to get andriod features but they are never as good. meego looks good but few phones have compatable bootloaders.
I can't forward my voicemail at&t number to GV voicemail. On GV app setup when I click configure voicemail and choose GV, it just bring me back to configure voicemail,
I remember when I had my iPhone 4 and some called be on my att number and was sent to the voice mail, the voicemail was forward to GV voicemail.

I had trouble too. Just came from iphone also. You need to log in on your PC not the Google voice app and set it up there Google.com/voice . You should be able to find where it says activate voicemail. Click it and it will give you a long number to call mine started with a *. Enter that # as if you where making a call and press send it will activate your account. I tried and tried to get it working from my phone but ended up going it this way. Good luck

Is there an application (or other method) to rout all incoming/outgoing calls through the phone's data connection? With texting this is already possible with Google Voice, but GV uses normal phone connection for voice. I'm looking to get around that.
Specifically I'm looking for a way to use a tablet plan (just data) on my phone while still being able to make and receive calls. So far I've seen Fring and Skype Mobile, both of which cost money. Has anyone used these (or any other similar service) and if so, do they work? Do they drop calls and/or not complete calls? Do they use the data connection exclusively? Are there any similar things that are free to use?
Thank you in advance!
The best one i have used is toktumi.
It's has a monthly fee of 10bucks but gives you a new number and texting all on their app.
It's been around a long time on. Apple before they crossed to android. I used it personally and it wasn't to bad. It's only 60-80% reliable when i used it. Maybe now it's alot better.

There are plenty of ways to make outgoing calls with data, but having a number that it's possible to call from any phone to ring yours is a lot harder. And google voice DOES use minutes; here's proof: Link
Try the free trial app from toktumi and you will find out that it's the best SIP app you can get

Has worked well for me the few times I've used it!
I can vouch for Skype and how well it can integrate with Android, though you must be willing to pay for some services.
2.99 a month will get you unlimited calling to the US and Canada. You can get away with only using this IF you don't want your own mobile number and don't care to receive incoming calls or voicemail. Not to mention when you call someone it will say "Unknown" and I've seen people don't tend to like to answer calls from an unknowable number. Most people obviously don't fit into this category, not sure if you do.
19.99 a month for your own mobile number where you can receive incoming calls and voicemail.
I am in search of an app to text over wifi. At my sisters house I don't get good service and I have people to text...but everyone is all about the whatsapp messanger but I cannot for the life of me figure it out... they say they will send me a message to verify but I never get a message :/ I deleted it and reinstalled it but no luck so any other ideas? Or help with that?

I think you can use google and keep your number. I remember I set it up but didn't want to pay to use my original number or something like that. I can't remember.
Okay thanks man I shall take a look into that I'm trying anything anyone offers that whatsapp never sends me a confirmation text so it doesn't work:/

I use Text+ and have found it to be great. Though it does give a different number my wife just put it in her address book as my tablet. I can at least use it both on my phone and tablet and still have the same number for both.
I might have to try one of these. When I go hang out a my cousins house my phone switches the network to telcel since we are close to the border so this would help me out some.
Gosms is nice..
*Kingpin... get it?*
I use mysms. I can use it from the PC, tablet and phone, and it syncs the message throughout all my devices. Its also free from the market.
google voice does this... works great

This is what I use on my Kindle Fire, and it works alright. Not sure if it has a notification alert.
Hello everyone.I'm wondering what everybody is using for SMS/MMS on their WiFi Notes? I would appreciate feedback as to what you are using and what features you like about it.Thanks
I would guess they use their phones?
I use mighty text. Works well. I switch between that and Google voice. Mighty text works best unless you are on Google voice then it's a toss up. No mms through Google voice but it syncs everything better than mighty text.

If you are guessing that, you have no idea what I am talking about. There are several apps that connect phone to tablet for this or use your phone number to sms thru email on the tab.Move on to your next extremely helpful post somewhere else.
I'm using tablet talk. I like it a lot it's really good but it's not free.
It syncs all your messages to your tablet. It uses WiFi and Bluetooth for it to work.
You can receive calls.
Perfect Combo!

Google voice to handle my Voice Mail and text messages. GrooVe IP to run my phone calls.
Works like a charm.

Well since in many countries it's illegal to spoof sender number I would say that any app that can do that is potentially a way to get your criminal record tainted. And know of at least two providers that do not deliver from spoofed sender numbers.

That is your providers SMSC you use and that is not at spoof. But if I send a message via my SMSC with your number as a sender that it's spoofing and illegal here. I can do that since I have my own SMSC and my contract clearly states that that it's grounds for termination and most likely a report to the authorities.

I use textfree. Can't send mms with it but can receive. Just wish the number they give had my area code.
I'm using Tablet Talk and it is brilliant. I was using Mighty Text, and was wary of whether TT would be worth the £1.79, and it totally was. I'm glad I took rhe plunge.

I take this back. Textfree is what I use on my kindle. I use heywire on my 10.1.
Tablet talk works great. I never have to take my phone out of my pocket, even for phone calls when I have my bluetooth in, I can dial right from my tablet. Well worth the money imo.
