There has been so much discussion on messaging apps these days. And many of my friends use different messaging apps. Since Messaging app is one of the most frequently used apps, and I was wondering what messaging apps the group uses here and why.
I personally use Hangouts and WeChat mostly (and Line to a lesser extent). The reasons are:
Hangouts: cross-platform messaging syncing/messaging, I can use Hangouts on PC, Mac and phone.
WeChat: communicate with friends in Asia
Line: VoIP call...(pretty good quality actually)
How about you guys?

I love google voice, but the only thing that is stopping me from using it as my main number is i dont like using the voice app to text. I do a lot of texting and i like the stock messaging interface (samsung captivate)
I know i can add that "other" number for each contact and that would work, but its really too much work and far from ideal.
anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: ive heard some use Handcent for sms, could it be integrated with this more easily?
Hello,
I must say Android rocks in almost all it's features, but what it severely lacks is messaging features.
I need to add that I have passed to Android from Blackberry, and what BB means?!... superb messaging system. Now what I ask is.. there is some kind of app or setting to bring/make the messaging system on Android more like on the BB. I like the idea of having SMS, EMAIL (all accounts) in one place. I know GMail can add multiple accounts, but still is not the same and I don't like the idea of having all my mail in one place (server).. seems like a simple task but is more complicated than having multiple accounts, each one meant for a reason.
Honestly I miss the messaging system from my BBs, but still I'll stick with Android.. being open source may bring a lot of resources (some better than other OSs).
Kind regards,
Zeule
While I'm working in China, I've got a China Mobile sim card for my local contacts, I've ported my US number to Google Voice for my contacts at home, and I've got people messaging me on multiple apps (Voxer, Skype, Google Talk, Kik, Mysms). I'm looking for a good way to slim things down a bit.
What's the best setup you've found for simplifying your messaging situation? I'm interested in any creative solutions, and I'm especially interested in hearing from people who are dealing with international messaging and phone numbers in separate countries. I'd also love to hear tricks you've found for settings within the apps you use. I know there are ways to configure these things in order to optimize their functionality.
Hello all,
I have been using two messaging services both available on iPhone, Android, and Windows smart phones. I have been stuck at a crossroads for which is the superior messaging program so that I might be able to limit myself to just one instead of going back and forth. I would like your opinions as to which messenger (kik or bbm) you like better and why.
**Please note, I would prefer you have experience with both apps so that there is no biased opinion.
**This is only between KIK and BBM, so please leave all other messaging programs out of it (e.g. whatsapp, viber, kakao). I only want your opinions about KIK and BBM.
That being said, state which one you like better and why
My dad uses a lot of different apps for communication (viber, whatsapp, skype, hangouts) depending on who he's messaging or where he is (he travels O/S a lot) as well as standard calls and sms's.
There probably isn't a message app that ties all these together, but is there perhaps a contacts app where he could tap on a name and be given a choice of which app to use for call/message/voip call?
