We all know Google Voice doesn't support MMS (at least photos sending). Is there any app that support Sending/Receive MMS (at least pics) using Google Voice number? Receiver can see GV number. If they send pics GV number, I can get it.
Please share me if any available.

I've been reading that you can use Hangouts to send photos. I'm about to test it out tonight.

Hello,
Anybody can recommend application which with minimal hassles will allow me to record a voice, transcribe it into email and send it to me. I need this functionality to record important things where paper is not around or when driving etc.
You could just use Google Voice.

How do I do that? I call my own Google Voice number? It'll send me into voicemail?
Is there any free SMS app to send/receive (also receive notification when I receive the text message)?
I'm on unlimited data plan but I did not purchase the text plan.
I have KakaoTalk app but I believe this is free for users that also has KakaoTalk.
I know one can send SMS on GMail and receive replies through GMail but I'm not sure if that's a possibility on my NS.
Thank you.
Are you in the US?
Google Voice is perfect for that, and integrates very nicely with the Nexus S. No MMS, but SMS works great.

Yes, I'm in the U.S.
Google Voice supports free send/receive SMS?
I know I could use free SMS on GMail by enabling one of the Labs feature but didn't know I could do this on GVoice.
I've been using GVoice as default voice messages. I don't need to do number porting to use SMS right?
I just need SMS, I don't need MMS, just to do some light text messaging when I don't feel like talking on the phone.

Nope when u make a Google voice account you download the app and u can use that to text.
You can also go on the market and look for a app called textfree. It works really well too

does using google voice for texting affect the battery life? more than the regular text?
I enabled GVoice on my NS but I'm not sure where I could send SMS message. I looked through all settings but I couldn't find it.

I'm accessing Voice app that was already installed on stock Nexus S and I updated to 2.3.2. I only see Refresh, Labels, Balance, Search, Setting, and Help on menu.
Edit: I suppose it works if I access one of my voice message and go to the menu then, I see Text icon.
But I don't see them on the main menu.

Alternatively, you can use Textfree.. not sure how your Google Voice is messed up. Uninstall and reinstall?
He needs to have a Google voice number first before he can text. Since it sounds like he wasn't familiar with it, he likely has to set up a number first.
Sigh, let's try this again.
Go to http://voice.google.com MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A GOOGLE VOICE ACCOUNT.
In the settings on the website, make sure you have NO TXT forwarding, otherwise obviously you'll be paying each TXT GV forwards to your phone.
Also make sure you set your GOOGLE VOICE NUMBER as the SENDER for TXT, again otherwise if someone replies, it will come to your normal cell phone sms number.
On your Nexus S, go to the Market and download the LATEST VERSION of Google Voice. Install it. Run it. Actually to be safe, go to your settings/appliations and do a CLEAR DATA on Google Voice, to delete your settings/start from scratch.
Launch Google Voice and FOLLOW THE WIZARD.
Now, press Menu and you should see Compose.
the only reason i said that is because it is absolutely possible to use google voice for voicemail service without actually having a google voice number or account. he'd actually need to go in an officially get/request a GV number. without that GV number, the texting options would not be there/work.
hello
i want to send out 1 sms. thats a 1 time sms to a gv group. the group currently holds 74 ppl and when i do send it out. i want my gv number to show up. nobody knows my sim's number.
i have tried at least 4 different apps. and each one does only 1 of my conditions.
either send to my gv group via my sim's number or send to multiple recipients via my gv.
i have searched android market and several non-google markets too.
so i am asking for help in my search for the app. that will do this.
thank you
I would give an ear for such an app...
I was looking for similar features...i found group sms pro in the market (cant post links yet). I really like it.
that one sends to google voice groups yes. but it sends as the sim's number not your gv number

I have verifed that it does use your gv number to send the sms. U just have to enable it in the settings. In the app, go to menu＞more＞settings＞google voice sms settings. Enable google voice and provide your authorization info.
Yes, Group SMS Pro works with GV. At least it did for me until the day I posted in this thread initially. It force closes on me now.
In case anyone checks: updated app send to work fine...

On my galaxy nexus, I used an app called messaging plus Google voice to optionally send text messages from my Google voice number (fo free).
It doesn't appear to be supported in Kit Kat, and surprisingly the new and improved hangouts doesn't support this either.
This was a great option for me to help manage my text messaging plan. Does anyone have an alternative?
- Thanks, Kevin

Why don't you use google voice app to send text messages from your GV number?

The other app had them (both google voice and regular text messages) consolidated in a single view. The gv interface lacks usability IMO, and hangouts seems like the perfect place. It is a shame that the messaging + gv broke in kit Kat.

In Google voice app on Android, Settings--> Sync and Notifications --> click Receive Text Messages" and select Messaging app.
Now, any text sent to the Google voice number will show up in Hangouts.
Sending is a little more complicated.
I can’t compose a new message in hangouts to a ‘new’ sender from my GV number(one that I haven’t received a message from into hangouts).
But if I send a message to my GV number (from an unrelated number), it shows up in my hangouts app with a seemingly random number (GV assigns a different intermediary number to each sender in GV – existing functionality)
If I now respond to that message in hangouts, it shows my GV number instead of my regular number.
True integration should be coming later this year though.

Thanks for the heads up. I had that set already, trying to get the other app to work. I guess I have not gotten any GV messages on my new phone! and thanks for the info on the future integration (I hope).

Also look for VoIP calling using hangouts later this year
The only real integration you can get until Google adds support, is through CyanogenMod 11. There is a framework modification called Voice+ that synchronizes your Google voice inbound/outbound messages to either the stock messenger or hangouts. It even automatically routes MMS through your phones real number.
Just to be clear this is what it does:
Your friend texts your google voice number > your default SMS app shows notification with their real number (not their GoogleVoice routing number) > you reply in your default sms app > they recieve the text from your Google Voice number.

Yeah, that is what the Messaging Plus GV app did (sort of) It was a stock replacement app and you managed everything from within it. GV conversations were a separate thread, but the originating number did not change.
- Thanks, kevin

i just purchased this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.klinker.android.messaging_donate
and it works with GV. you still have to have the GV app installed.
NOTE: its a separate messaging app
My buddy on his oneplus one texted me with hangouts and i'm getting it from his google voice number. I had him text a random friend of mine and the number shows up as his google voice number as well. MMS not working via hangouts for google voice. it just sends it via the phones number instead of the google voice number.
Can anyone test this to see if google voice/hangouts integration is working?
I can't test it anymore as i ported out my google voice number to my carrier

You can now make phone calls via Hangouts directly from the Google Voice website, no Google+ necessary.
