Have you tried using google voice? There is an sms option, it's in browser though so I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for.

An SMS is an SMS. It doesn't matter which method is used to send it, the recipient will receive it on whatever phone they own. As mentioned above you can send it via IM, Website..etc.
Doesn't Skype have this ability?

What he's saying is that he wants a slice of the free cake I guess.
He wants to be able to send something (which costs the network operator money to send it to someone else) for free.
I guess there's nothing like that for you, sir.
I do know that certain network operators in my region (Singtel, Starhub of Singpaore and Maxis, Digi of Malaysia) allow customers to connect to their website and send a WebSMS from their own sites but there is a certain limit a day. However, this only applies to SMS sent to their customers who are on their communication network though.
maybe you can try textplus. Search for it on Market because the system doesn't allow me to post outside link 'cause i'm new user try it!
Im looking for something like text plus but in this app I can send a free sms only to usa and canada. Im looking for something what will work in UK

So why is their no group message support?

I dont understand why their is no group message support for our phones. I can create a group message but if i get a message from someone in that group it sends it me via their phone number not in the group message. Also if one of my friends makes a group message and im in it im not a part of it. I just get a text that acts like a slide show from their number. It works wonders on the iphone but yet on the most advanced phone they cant get a simple feature to work. So does anyone know a good txt message app that lets me do proper group messages?

The only way to get the full group messaging functionality that I have found is using the Verizon Messages app. Its a little ugly but it works perfectly especially when group messaging with iphone users. Hope that helps.
Cause theirs not.

Go SMS Pro does the trick for me. I refuse any app from Verizon if I can.

Hangouts 2.0 disable group mms?

Hey,
so I'm currently in Vietnam and group mms doesn't work out here. Is there a way to disable it? In the stock messaging app, if I sent a group message, it would just send a single sms to each person [which is what I want to happen], but in hangouts it tries to send an mms and it just gets stuck.

This is a generalised issue which all the users except USA (?) are facing. .
My group sms also get converted to MMS and that really pushes the bill high. Google needs to fix it. For the time being I am relying on third party app.

4.4.2 using messaging when it's not default sms app

Pretty much title. I am using Textsecure but my wife's phone has issues accepting picture messages through textsecure while it's encrypted so I was going to send pictures via messaging but even adjusting the app ops settings messaging is still saying it's not allowed because it's not the default sms app. Anyway around this?

Thanks, but what I was looking for is a way to send messages with Messaging when it's NOT the Default SMS app. I want all of my texts going in to Textsecure and be able to send pictures with Messaging. But when Messaging isn't the Default SMS app, it doesn't allow you to send messages. Even if I give it permission in App Ops. :\

SMS sent via Google Voice are not logged to any SMS app

Aussie user on --> MHA-L29C636B158 here and I've currently got a case going with Huawei for an issue where SMS's sent via Google Voice are not logged to any SMS app. They send successfully but there's no trace of them in Huawei Messaging app or any SMS app.
Have confirmation from another Aus user on same firmware that they have the issue. Wondering if it's a problem on other variants? Can't seem to find the issue mentioned in any posts here on XDA.
Cheers all

To send SMS with GV u either have to use the Google voice app or hangouts. Which one are u using? What do u mean logged? U mean once u hit send it sends but doesn't show in the app?

Yep, the latter. Using Google voice and then voice command "sms contact_name".
Once you've told Google Voice to send the SMS it has indeed been sent successfully but that particular message doesn't exist in any SMS messaging app. Go to Huawei Messaging or any other SMS app such as Android Messages you have installed and the GV sent SMS doesn't exist...
i thought i was the only one
drove me nuts so i uninstalled google now. lol

Thanks virtyx. Did uninstall/re-install fix the issue? What firmware r u on? I send and receive sms's from the car a fair bit with Google voice so it's a bit annoying to have no record of sent sms's done with GV. Apart from this am loving the phone Cheers

I'm on stock c636b172
I didn't reinstall don't really need it.
I just use the voice icon in my messaging app to send it, works that way.

Yep righto. Guess I shouldn't be too excited about B172 possibly fixing the issue then! (which I'm hoping to get OTA soon).
If anyone else can comment on if they've seen this issue (or do a quick sms via GV for me to test it) it'd help me hugely with my case with Huawei which is currently moving at a snails pace... Twice already I thought I'd gotten through level 1 but it seems that's where it's still at...
Cheers
