I was looking at the Verizon Messages app, and it sounds interesting, but I wanted to verify some things.
I read that you need to subscribe to get integrated messages to text from a tablet, is this free?
Can I send text messages from a tablet for free without integrated messages(assuming they cost money)?
I have unlimited texting with my current plan if that makes a difference.
Thank you in advance,

I just signed up for a data plan and am trying to figure out a way to send text messages via data without signing up for a $20 texting plan.
Here is the following options I have come up with
-Use web2mail and send email texts to people. Although this is quite annoying because people say they recieve a new text every time i respond (doesnt come up as one conversation)
-Sign into AOL instan messanger and text people through that. But this kills my batterylife.
-There is an app called mjoy. www.mjoy.com I havent tried it yet, but am considering it.
are there any other options? any java apps or anything that can be used to send text messages?
thanks
ps I have an ATT Fuze.
RE: free sms texing via data?
please just get texting plan.
AIM uses both texts/data.
and is it really worth it to go thru hassle to text friends/family to save 10 to 20 bucks?
and hassling friends/family to get random messages from websites and whatnot?

About 10 seconds on google man. I'm not going to call you a jerk, but I'm seriously considering it.
People that post questions without doing any research are really a drag.
Yeh - I had the same question.
As it stands, I'm using my email to send texts... but cumbersome at time. Especially when I don't know the persons provider. Anyhow, I saw that the Iphone/Itouch had an app that used Google's SMS feature called Infinite SMS... it got pulled back. Similarly, there is another Iphone/Itouch Textfree and Textfree Lite that sends texts via data, but not using Google's SMS.
I'm not a developer, but I guess if it could be done on the Iphone, then is it possible that it can be done on WM?
looking for the best widget / app for twitter. i'm sort of new to the twitter scene and don't really plan on broadcasting my life to a billion people, but i thought it might work well as a free alternative to sending text messages (which actually cost me money after a certain point).
anyway, just looking for suggestions on best widgets and/or apps.
thanks!
You can try Google Voice, it can send text messages for free. It can also be your voicemail as well. Then you can get the Google Voice app for Android, it integrates with the phone perfectly.
I think you may need to sign up for a new number when you register, to be able to use free texting.
I am not associated with this company or app.
I only have a data plan, and hated to get text plan. I found this application, it assigns you a US phone number, and you can than send and receive SMS/text without text plan.
I have used this for past 2 days, so far it is working great.

I am very frustrated. About to go over text limit but have unlimited data on Verizon. Group text is killing me. Verizon has quite the scheme when it comes to how many texts that takes.
My need. An app that combines google voice and whatsapp. It sucks google stopped and seems to be blocked from doing mms.
I am all for and try to use alternatives whenever I can but you can only ask so much of other people.
How can I sms, mms, group, picture, video or whatever just using my data? Why is there nothing like imessage?
I was invited into a group chat with 3 other Verizon users, we all have Android phones - but they all use the official (God awful) Verizon Message+ app and I'm using Pixel's default (Google) texting app, which I really like so far. Problem is... When I first was invited into the group text, it worked - kind of. I got text messages and stuff, but instead of replacing the phone numbers that prefixed the messages, it'd just show the phone numbers.
So I asked them what they used, and downloaded the Verizon texting app and switched to that - I could see avatars, the background picture, it read my contact info for each user correctly, etc.. But the app is terrible, I mean a truly god awful piece of garbage - you can't even save images to your phone, just to "Verizon".
Anyways, rant aside - I switched back to Google's texting app and now I'm not getting any messages in the group text - and I asked in person, they're still sending messages, they're just not coming through for me.
So my main question is: How do I fix not receiving group texts anymore? I tried deleting cache + data for the google texting app like I saw being recommended, but that didn't fix it. I really don't want to switch back to the Verizon message+ app if I can help it because it really is terrible.
Any help would be appreciated. I'd even accept another texting app suggestion if it has feature parity with the google app, I just want to do everything I can to avoid Verizon's app.

Does your device have a "dual messenger" option anywhere in your system settings?

No promises, but you might try Textra. I think the problem come from Verizon's app can send over Wi-Fi (desktop apps) and is not really sms compliant.
Thank you both, but sadly no option for dual messaging and I've used Textra and wasn't a huge fan. As awful as the Verizon app is, I may just have to keep using it ?
