Android free messenger, not IM ?

Is there an app that acts like SMS but thats free to use between 2 X10s and over data plan or WiFi ? Basically, I want SMS app that goes over data, not over network. I have Nimbuzz and Fring for IM but I need something that holds messages, e-mail is not an option.
Tnx

Use PingChat

Tnx a lot ! Looks promising. It asks for my phone number, is it completely free of charge, only data plan is used ?

why not just use the google talk app if you both have x10s?

Isnt GTalk chat application ? I want something like SMS, so that message stays for long time and the person doesnt need to be online and on phone. For chat I have Nimbuzz. Is Gtalk is something different than Nimbuzz ?

try Hanashi, it's an app made by SE...its free in the market...you can even record your voice and send it or share a file as well.
I use it quite often with my friends.
It uses data only...no additional cost.

Tnx but that is IM, not like SMS app, I want something like free SMS app, like e-mail but simpler, I will try Pingchat today.

I wish android would make something like BBM.. That would be 'orgasmic'!!

Dont know what BBM is but Pingchat is perfect ! Its just like SMS and the message waits on server until you turn on data so it can be delivered. Great stuff, just what I need !

+1 for go sms for texting
But if you have a big close knit group of friends that do alot of things or convo's together then might want to check out...
PingChat
Its just like your text/mms stock app or go sms but the difference is with this app is when you do a mass text message to a group their replies stay within that convo and all persons involved also can see others replies as well.
Downside is that they all have to have the app for it to work hence why i said a close knit of friends.

Go sms pro all the way and its free

i highly recommend groupme... it gives you inapp chat or sms option, and also can do conference calling

Group Texting
I'm using Disco! Free from the android market.
Only thing, you get sms advertisments once in a while.
It's kind of like conference texting. You set up a group list, send the sms and its sent to everyone to see and respond.

Searching for messaging app

Hi
I'm looking for a cross platform messaging app with strong group messaging capabilities for more than 100 people. One that is able to send files and not only photos.
Also it must be simple to use.
Do you know of any?

SMS to a group

Hey guys...
I need to text a group in my contacts and I would like to select certain contacts within that group. I used to be able to do this in jelly bean, but can't seem to do it in kit Kat. I know GoSms does it, but I find that app way to heavy and it generally slows down the phone. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Try Textra. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.textra
It is similar to the stock 4.3 messaging app, but does groups.

Thanks for the reply, but with Textra, you can text to a group but you can select certain members of that group. That app is so close to being perfect though. Any other suggestions? This is impossible with hangouts I guess?

Try Smart Messenger.
I'm not sure if you can do what you're describing with Hangouts, but I do know that group SMS in Hangouts are automatically sent as MMS. If you or anyone else you text with gets charged per MMS, that's going to be an issue.

SMS App

WhatsApp does that! Wi-Fi only no carrier charges and international. $.99 a year but a free year to try it.

Oh yea there are a bunch of those out there man. Text free etc. Not trying to be funny but just type in text in the play store and tones of them will come up.

kik is like a free version of whatsapp with the added bonus of being anon (depending on your choice of user name)

Doesn't Hangouts work on both WiFi and mobile internet?

Hangouts is similar to I Message... If their name doesn't have a SMS then you are in a hangout. However I do have a question about hangouts. How do you attach videos? When I touch the camera the only options are take photo and attach photo. I have a hang out between my self my sister and my mother and we can't figure out how to share videos. And I'm not talking about video conferencing.
