Hi together,
I am searching for an Android app I can use to write and read my SMS via Browser/PC.
Should be very easy and simple and not oversized with the need to get too much access rights like e.g. pushbullet etc.
Would be great if someone would give some tipps for that
Thanks in advance

i was searching for a specific solution... found this post... figured i'd share with you what i've learned so far.
i've been using "sprint with google voice integration" for a year or so. it provides the ability to text via the google/voice webpage. but - while the google voice (full) allows you to use SMS, MMS, gifs / attachments, etc. - "the sprint with google voice integration" just allows you to do SMS.
so i was (and still am) considering switching to google voice (full) but it would cost me ~ $60 to get my phone number ported to google voice ($40 to sprint for activation of old phone to avoid losing subsidy on new phone and $20 to google voice).
i found this website which lists apps that you can use which (i believe all) receive the text on your phone then send it to the web and notifies you on the web browser if you have the webpage open. however, because i need to be able to send & receive messages when my phone is off, i think that the only option is google voice.

Hi,
now that Gmail added (on the desktop version) the possibility to make a call to a land line in real voip, I was wondering if there was a way to use this "call" option directly from our Captivate.
I would like to be able to call people thru Google Voice without using my call plan but only use my data plan (I still have unlimited data).
Thanks
There is an app called Google Voice.

Thanks, for the info, I know that, but this app call you back and use your voice plan. I'm looking for a way to use a way do go full VOIP with gvoice like you can fin on your pc/mac when you open your browser on gmail.com a look under "chat" you will have a "call" button.
Try it
I think google is to afraid of alienating carriers, which would alienate manufacturers, to try that just yet.
Saw an article today describing how to setup Google Voice to allow you to transfer a call you receive via Google Voice to the Gmail Chat call function. However, it requires that you have Gmail open in a browser on your computer.
Overall it can save you some cell phone call minutes, but it may not be the solution you are looking for.
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.
Hey guys I havent been able to find anything current as if this was possible on android device.. I have JB IP4 and im using google voice sms through bitesms as my native app using the sms google voice extension. The way it works is that when the google voice app sends a push notification on the phone the google voice sms extension catches the push notification and sends it through bitesms as a normal sms. That way I was able to ditch the unlimited sms plan from ATT. Is something like that possible on android? Thats huge for me since 20 bucks a months is a damn ripoff. And i do lots and lots of txting lol. Thanks for any info =)
I've been an SMS GV Extensions user since it launched and finally bought an Android phone last week.
I took it for granted that Android would either do this already or be able to do this more easily (iOS required a jailbreak), but I instead find that you can only integrate incoming messages with the native Android messaging app and there doesn't seem to be a solution even with rooting your phone. This is disappointing, to say the least.
The fact that the Android GV app has an option in integrate inbound messages with the native messaging application but not outbound implies that is is a deliberate decision on Google's part because it is an obvious feature that is only half implemented. It is probably less a concern with cutting into the carriers' SMS revenue and more to do with constraining use of the service (Google has taken actions to curb heavy use in the past). If it integrated seemlessly, people would use it more.
This is something Google is just going to have to get over if they hope to remain competitive. There is some hope in that the new iMessaging that integrates with text messaging on iOS will put competitive pressure on them to do something similar with Android.
I will be first in line!
Psst... if anyone has found a way that I am unaware of despite constant searching in the past week, please advise us in this thread!
Google Voice Integration App?
I have not used this personally, and am in no way associated with the developer, but I found this app when searching for this exact functionality today. My Nexus S is currently integrated with GV on Sprint, so I have no way of actually testing whether this works or not, but if it does, its definitely worth $0.99!
I've been contemplating a switch to Verizon because of Sprint's slow network speeds, and would do so if I could have this functionality. If anyone has tried it, please provide feedback.

I just tried that app about 20 minutes ago. It shows promise. If you compose a message using the native SMS app it will send via Google Voice.
However, it doesn't integrate incoming messages. If you use GV's built in text forwarding, messages will come from your contact's alias (406, 973, etc) number. Also, you won't see messages you've sent using the Google Voice app or website in the native client.
I refunded it but I'll definitely buy again after improvements are made.
check out the google voice sms integration app on the market.
just search for mdrtools and u will find it.
Hi, I'm looking for an app that would allow me to use my secondary Google Voice number .. I hope this question is in the right place.
I searched Google and found only few posts where something like this was asked and no real answers there.
I am currently using GVoice with Sprint integration so the android Google voice app is being used by my sprint number and that takes the option of even signing out of the app away. What I need is a second app to let me sign in with my other Google Voice account and able to text and maybe make calls as well? but mostly I need it for the SMS.
I believe I can use grooveIP to make and receive VoIP calls with Gvoice.. but GrooveIP doesn't have SMS.
I know there are other options for SMS such as Pinger, TextMe, TextPlus and many more and I did try those three but none of them as good as Google voice and one reason is they don't give permanent number they will delete it if not used for 30 days and that's a problem for me.. also they don't save history but only for few days or weeks where with Gvoice my history is there however long I want to keep it.
I hope I made what I'm looking for clear
I have Sprint Evo 3D with stock rooted rom..
Thank you all in advance ..
Mr. Q
So I've been searching the web for a clear explanation but am now more lost than before.
Goal: I would like to have my SMS/MMS synced and backed up across devices (much like iMessage i suppose) - preferably with Hangouts - so that I can reply to a text message from my computer or another device - I would also like to see my Google Voice voicemails in the hangouts app also.
Is this even possible?
I've seen google help docs with instructions on how to integrate Voice with Hangouts but I do not see those settings in my Hangouts app. Am I missing something?
And I recall reading about Hangouts being capable of syncing SMS and MMS messages across devices - not sure if it's a projectFi exclusive feature or what.
Any suggested apps to accomplish my goal if google apps are not the way to go? Please advise. I don't use google voice for free calls or text messaging - it's sole purpose is to keep my voice messages. Nor do I use Hangouts for free calls or free messaging. I'd like to use my carrier service and phone number.
I'm not rooted (anymore, thanks to android pay) so non-root solutions would be most helpful - though root solutions may pull me back to the dark side.
