My goal is to be able to send iMessages from my Nexus 5 to my girlfriends iPhone 5.
We carry a long distance relationship (International) whenever I go on business, which is 3-4 months at a time.
She doesn't want to use Whatsapp or whatever data messaging app other than iMessage. stubborn B---tch
Now I know that Remote Messages is a jailbreak tweak that allows people to send imessages from Windows operating systems, and I know that you can do that with Android. The concept is that you use an iDevice as the host.
In my case, I have both a Mac and a iPhone 5 (inactivated). So that cancels out my iPhone being the host. How can I use my Mac as a host to relay the iMessages?
Any ideas?

Hey folks! Came across this as I have nothing else to do. ; ) But I would like to be able to transfer my SMS's from my BlackBerry to my MT4G and vice versa. I came across SpriteMigrate, but it doesn't look like they supported or support BlackBerry any longer, even though the Google search tells me they do. I use both phones, I switch off every now and then, so I would like to update the phone's with the text messages as I switch. Of course, if text messaging were like Google Talk where everything passes the Google servers and gets stored then I'd be okay, but not every conversation happens to be on Google Talk obviously. If there is an alternative of some sort please let me know!
Just get a program called VeryAndroid SMS Backup to help. It can transfer SMS from iPhone, Blackberry, Nokia or Windows Mobile to Android. Google it for downloading.
So, with the announcements yesterday of SMS client support in Hangouts (as well as animated GIFS and Location sharing) and the other new features announce for Google+ with the Video and Photo editing, I wonder how much it will help growth on the platform. Of course the iOS update had Google Voice support and maybe that will be baked in too. I use Hangouts a lot now to talk to family and groups that I'm part of and to automatically back up my photos and videos from my phone. It's really nice to be able to instantly go to my images from any computer and access the full size images without having to manually retrieve them. I will be interested to see how the SMS implementation is handled, but it could prove to be the "killer" feature to push Hangouts to more people. I like the fact that it works completely across all platforms. Whether I'm at my computer or my phone, or my niece's iPad or my brother's iPhone or even folks on crackberries or Windows, everyone can "Hangout" without the exclusivity of platform like iMessage or the limitations of BBM. I think the real key will be how fluid and responsive it is at full blown implementation.

Hello I have both Android and iPhone. I want to transfer one of my conversations on my iPhone (please don't ask me why). Do you know how I can do that? I tried searching already on google but I can't find any solutions. Backuptrans and Mobiletrans is so expensive for just 600+ messages.
Apple is going to release new app that helps users to switch from Android to iOS. I don't know if it has Messages sending option, but you need to wait for it: http://www.theverge.com/2015/6/8/8748113/apple-made-an-android-app-for-switchers
How to Transfer SMS from Android to iPhone
You've got tired of Android and ready to make the switch to iPhone. It is certainly a hassle to leave behind your important text messages when move to the new iPhone 6, 6 Plus, or 5S. To transfer text messages from Android to iPhone, you'll make sure that you have a Windows PC, two USB cables, and a Mobile Transfer tool, like Jihosoft Phone Transfer. Use USB cables to connect your Android and iPhone to the PC and the phone transfer tool will transfer text messages, contacts, calendar, photos, videos, music and other data from Android to iPhone.

It is called 'Move to iOS' but only works for new or reset ios devices. Messages attachments transferring is not supported.
I have this particular problem: I don't have a phone, but I have a Skype phone number, SMS is very convenient but Skype cannot receive SMS from phones however it can send SMS to phones. So I send my friends texts but it is one way.
I'm a web developer, not a platform developer <- much harder in my opinion, syntax
So, if I created a database to store messages, users, and used that as an API and I wanted a simple app with a text box that you can write into and receive, with a send button / search for user/contact, how hard is that to do for all three platforms? Connect to the database then communicate with this app as if it was a native SMS client.
Maybe it already exists...
I think it's a good idea.
Although I should just get a phone ha
Any thoughts would be appreciated, maybe I'll make it myself. Android then Windows then Apple
I am thinking about switching to Android, from Iphone X, and I have 5 years of SMS text message threads which I do not want to lose. Is there any way to do this easily when I switch to Android? Will I lose all those SMS conversations ? Your recommendations, insights and guidance is greatly appreciated.
