There's Something called Text+ (look for Textplus in market) i used that on my ipod touch for unlimited free SMS, doesnt support calling though... it does give you your own phone number, and you can send and receive texts

I'm using Google Voice too..
But I think it doesn't work for him since he's living in Greece.
Skype maybe ?

Have you tried Heywire?

I tried to download the program and i get the error "your device is not compatible ".
I have the xoom2 Media edition with honeycomb 3.2.Any advice?

I use SyncSMS
It uses dropbox to sync the texts so you can send and receive them from your phone to your Xoom and vice versa.

Can we text with our Note 10.1?

Before this tablet was released and the rumors were flying about specs and features, I thought I read somewhere that we would possibly be able to "tether" in a way from our phone and be able to send texts from our tablet using our cell phone's number basically. Does anyone else remember hearing this rumor too and better yet, is this feature available and anyone know how to enable it?

Try MigtyText if your phone is android. Works for me

Yes it possible, I've been using Google voice free from the play store, just set up Google voice which will give u a gvoice phone number and you should be able to make calls and send text messages over any wifi. The only down side is that you can't receive calls so if somebody calls they will be asked to leave a voice mail and you will receive a email with the voice mail to download and listen to.. In my opinion its awesome cause its free and it works

It's possible to receive calls as well -- check out GrooVe IP

Check tablet talk. Pairs up through bluetooth/wifi and let's you text from tablet.

Thanks but it says that the app is not compatible with my device. Can you dropbox the apk for me?

You install the app on your phone, not the Note
Then you send texts from the web page on the Note
See my screenshot on previous post

One word answer: YES
Tablet Talk Paid app, syncs to your phone via wifi or bluetooth. Text directly from your Galaxy Note.
MySMS (Tablet) Syncs between the mysms app on your phone. Allows for SMS and MMS to be sent from your tablet or desktop, all free.
TabletSMS Same as mySMS, text from the tablet directly, desktop, or phone. Be warned that this is $5/year.

I always had to have it open to receive texts. If I closed it and forgot I would find texts days, weeks, or months later. Nice idea, poor implementation. Needs to work like regular text apps. If I close them I still get notifications.

So many of the products Google puts out like Voice seem very half-assed to me. For instance voice mail transcription in Google Voice is so pathetically bad its funny. I get a voicemail from my mom asking me to get her a salad for lunch and the transcription is something like:
"Hi, mom on mars. Pick up syringes for grunge."

Just purchased this one and it is amazing! Sms's are sent instantly via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi depending on your choice of how you connect your tablet to the phone using the app.
The best thing is, if you use a Bluetooth headset and it is paired with your phone, this app allows you to call and reject phone calls from the tablet. The phone can be left in your pocket as the app also has caller id. The calls are handled by your phone and controlled by this app. Also those who wish to use the new Bluetooth pen for calling can use it too via this app.
Who needs 3g anymore? Not me, that's for sure, I have saved myself £100.

Just purchased this. Cannot find app in Market on my Galaxy S II to download it. Not in MyApps there either.
I'll attempt to sideload it from my tablet.

Huh?
I just went to the Play Store on my PC and it basically says the "Tablet Talk" is pretty much compatible with every phone ever made EXCEPT the Epic 4G Touch. WTH? Why not? Tried emailing the developer but their email link is broken.
Not happy.
---------- Post added at 09:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 AM ----------
Ok, their customer service emailed me the .apk. I installed it on my phone. Made my phone and tablet discoverable to each other and paired.
Tablet Talk cannot connect to phone bluetooth.
I noticed when setting things up they ask for a password, but at no point in the connection process is the password requested. Makes me think I am missing a step in here somewhere?

I'm using Tablet Talk on my Epic 4g Touch through my Galaxy Note 10.1 & Nexus 7 tablets via WiFi....
I just wish it had the ability to do MMS, the only shortcoming. Other then that its a great program.

Yes I was finally able to connect via wifi. Bluetooth would not work.

That is strange because I was not asked at any point to put in a password. Maybe it is the phone model causing the issue.
The developer has an active forum where you can ask the questions as to why you are having issues, link below:

Instagram Notifications

I've never been able to receive notifications on either my One X or my GS3. Do they just not work for Android?
Yes, I have them On and selected to receive from everyone....
Anyone have any tips? ( Other than just deleting Instagram.. )

No idea, works perfect for me...

send and reply whatsapp

I have the new Huawei smartwatch w2 (coming together with P10) and when I say the command "send a whatsapp message to xxxxx" it never recognizes the contact who I want to send the message. The system always is asking "who" again and again. It seems to not recognize the contact.If I say "send an email to xxxx" (same person) or a simple sms or call it works fine.
Also if I reply whatsapp notification, there is not an error, it seems fine , but the answer never is sent through whatsapp
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

whatsapp

"We provide notifications for Android Wear. We do not, however, have a dedicated Android Wear app. If you are unable to receive notifications on your watch, please try all troubleshooting steps on our FAQ."
Thats the answer from Whatsapp. Really not what i wanted to hear.

Today i tried saying "send whatsapp message to XXX" and it asked me for the message and it went thru successfully.
I'm using the HW2 BT version

I'm having the same problem, my hw2 get stuck asking for the contact.
How did you solve it?

Use wear messages for WhatsApp and Facebook messenger. You will be able to respond that way.

So the trending theme here seems to be pronunciation of contact names. I noticed that most people posting to this thread seem to have english as a second language and from what I can tell, you are attempting to send the message in english. Try and speak the contact name slower, this will allow Android Assistant to learn the contact name easier over time since the name possibly sounds different when pronounced with an accent.

Watch faces
The problem, at list in my case resolve just changing the watch face that supports it. The once that I tried are the once with the "setting" icon. I'm using the Huawei watch 2 sport with the official watch face, the one on the demo.
