Can anyone shed light on this app... I'm looking to browse using my companies WiFi but not have them track what I'm viewing.... will this do it? Is there a better way to do it?

The answer is: It depends. Depends on what infrastructure your company has in place to track your movements should they choose to. Even going through a proxy they could still sniff the traffic to your box if they so chose. I'd have your butt in a heartbeat as soon as that device lit up on the network.
I can tell you that where I work the mere act of putting that on your device and it's use with the intent of bypassing corporate restrictions would get you fired on the spot. Is it worth it?

Well I'm logging on to the customer lounge WiFi... guess the question would be could they tell its me and not a customer ...

Is it your work computer? Then they could tell by your MAC address.

Sorry, just woke up so it didn't process. If your incredible is not company provided, then no. They would just be able to tell you're on an incredible, and profile you based upon the sites you visited, if they wanted to go through the effort. But if it is from the company, IT should have its MAC.

Lol I would take out your number. Some trolls might prank you on your Google voice.
Anyways, what does your General settings look like, make sure you have SMS to mobile unchecked.

Lol I think that's your Google voice number, well that's where my Google voice number shows.
You should be able to start a new conversation and reply to received texts. If you have a text plan with your mobile number, send test messages to google voice from it or vice versa. That's how I did it.

[Q] google voice on nexus s without it being activated

I wanted to use Google voice on my nexus s 4g but I don't want to activate it with sprint. Is there any way to do this?

Uhhh, skip the integration? If you read the setup screens you will know this.

I skipped it and after that it says to register your phone and it needs to send a text message but I cant

Alternative SMS?

So I've been thinking about dropping my SMS/MMS bundle plan to safe a little money. There are some free apps in the Market to text for free with data. Which do you recommend? I am currently testing Pinger, which is great. The only flaw I see is that I'm not able to text with the original number I also use for calling (which creates confusion with my friends and family.) Also, when I'm on Edge the app doesn't load/refresh for new messages. Any body find a (near) perfect alternative?
Thanks

Doesn't that require people to use the app as well? I use it for international texting with my brother but he also uses the app, can you send to a dumb phone and receive from the same person?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Nope. The other end should have whatsapp too. But its better than juggling two numbers, one for calls and the other for text.
I have free global texting so I hardly use whatsapp even.

Doesn't that app also require the person receiving the message to have it installed? And does it use the native number? Hmm. Google voice seemed nice, but I couldn't understand how it worked and doesn't support MMS.

I'm not sure if this will work or not but have you tried the GO SMS GO chat?

Why not use one of the IM clients out there? That's what I use to text my girl while she's in Canada.

What about Google Voice?

I use Viber. It's an all in one and it's free and no adverts!!
People that you message do require it though as of course it uses Wifi or your Data Plan!
Also this allows to MMS/SMS in one shot also your can call people with this app. Again all using data so it's a VoIP app.
I tested the calling feature and it comes in quite clear! SMS with it is good also.
Hope this is somewhat of what you were looking for...
