I am hunting for an android app (preferably open source) (function similar to watsapp) that allows me to send a message to a phone (using phone number) (not SMS, but just IP) (a broken IP) even if the receiving end does not have the app installed on his phone. Since there wont be any application to handle it and the message can be discarded in the IP stack itself.
Tried with TextSecure but it requires the app to be installed on both sides.
Does anyone knew if such an app exists. Kindly suggest me.

Does anyone know of any apps that allow you to send and receive text messages through your phone with your computer? I know that PDA Net has the ability but it isn't compatible with Mac OSX. I am looking for something dedicated to text messages. I know I can do this with a VNC to my phone but that kind of thing is too laggy and slow.
Thanks!
Hi,
The greatest App there is right now is smshare
You have to install this app on your Android phone, and the smshare Extension on your Chrome Browser.
Then you can type your SMS in the Chrome-Extension, and then the SMS will be sent to your phone, which then sends them as normal SMS. No Wifi hassels, and really comfortable and fast.
A new feature of smshare is that your incoming sms can be forwarded to your email account - so you don't even need to touch your phone for communication via SMS.
Another way is to use the Wifi SMS Apps.
On these kind of Apps (like for example RemoteSMS) you have to connect your phone to the same Wlan as your Computer, start the App on the Phone, and then you can log into an Webinterface with your Browser and compose the SMS there which then are sent from your phone.
The problem with smshare is that it uses a third party server so if privacy is a concern, then remotesms is much better. I use remotesms and u can actually connect via WLAN, usb or Bluetooth and it's a direct connection so no privacy concerns. Works brilliantly.
Much thanks for both of your for your replies. This is exactly what I was looking for!
SMS2PC gets my vote. Lovely simple interface!
Hi there;
I've recently gotten roped into developing a piece of software for android devices; I've been instructed to make it possible to send messages (Message Boxes) to mobile devices which are separate from MMS and SMS; For security purposes we have had built a small Android distribution for the devices allowing GPS, Calls and GPRS Data BUT NO SMS/MMS! (I think Bluetooth is supported; but at the distances that we work at; it would be irrelevant)
So far I've been able to program the devices to show the messages when connected to the Bridge; Is it at all possible to send a piece of DATA that will allow the Phone to display a message; Much like the "Battery Low" messages with an "OK" button/option but with a custom message?
Thanks :good:
Hi. I'm using with my N5 with t-mo in the US. I have a rule in Outlook (on my PC) that sends an SMS to my phone in the event that I get an email from a specific individual. So, the message is sent to [email protected]. This message arrives to my phone as an SMS.
With my prior phone (which was using a CM-based 4.2.2 ROM) this message would appear in my SMS client (Slide Messaging Pro; but prior to that was Handcent) identified by the email address, which would then map correctly into Contacts and bring up the correct contact picture (me).
With my N5 running KitKat, the message shows up as from a four digit code ( e.g., 3823, which varies from message to message), and the SMS client can't map it into Contacts to get the picture. Instead, the first part of the message is my email address.
This is hardly mission-critical, but I am wondering if there is some way to strip out the 4 digit code so that the SMS maps to Contacts correctly? I'm currently rooted but using stock recovery, if that matters.
Hello Friends,
Currently I am using a SMS service in order to get special notifications on my mobile from my PC. for ex: I get a SMS when a user enters wrong password three times, Windows alerts and logs. It's all done by using a trigger on the database the application reads the row and sends it by SMS. I was wondering if there is any application that can be configured on my PC, reads what I want from a database, logs, errors etc... and sends them to an application on my mobile as a push notification.
Can anyone help with this?
Regards,
When I send a text message on my new j7, the receiver receives two or three copies of the same message. What's up?

This all depends on what type of mobile you and your friend are using. Android mobiles are normally the main suspect with this type of issue.
Antivirus can be scanning outgoing message and sending them twice! If you have an anti-virus app or security type app installed, uninstall it or go to the app settings then disable it and see if that helps.
Android by default has a google app installed called 'hangouts' that has been known to cause messaging issues in the past. Even if you don't use the app! It can still cause issues related to the messaging services such as duplicate message being sent. To solve this issue goto app manager and clear the cache / data from the "hangouts" app and restart the mobile by turning it off and back on again. If the app is not there do not worry!
If you are using any third party text messaging app try using the default one instead…!

Or make sure you have pick the third party app as your default and turn off notifications in the stock app.
I use chomp sms (for text) and hangouts (for Craigslist and messaging family through their various non-phone devices) and never had any issue.
Sometimes the settings for your sms gateway is incorrect or your carrier is the issue.
