The title says it all. I have friends in Germany and UK. Searched for a while for an app that allows me to use wifi to text them. Is there a such thing? Thanks!
Try Google Hangouts

Does anyone know of any apps that allow you to send texts from your phone through your tab other than SyncSMS. Sync is great and all but the interface is terrible and I'd like to have the ability to only sync sometime.

Alright so this is actually exactly what I was looking for which is awesome but I can't get it to send messages out through the Talk app. Receiving works wonderfully though any ideas?

If you have Google voice you can send texts through there... all u need is internet access. That's how I send texts on my tab. Just set up a free account on your phone, log into gvoice on your tab and blammo you have texts on your tab. I don't even use normal phone texting anymore as Google texts don't apply to text messaging so I saved a bunch of money by eliminating unlimited texts from my phone service and put myself down to like 500 texts or something like that for 5 bucks a month, never go over because Google texts use 3g or wifi to transmit
Sprint SGT + CM7 = AWESOMENESS!!!!

So it looks like I'm getting myself an N7 as my first Android device. I'm coming from using an iPad and it's built in messaging app to communicate with my wife and son via their iPods over wifi. What messaging app would you recommend we switch to once I have my N7 in hand?
Good question I'd like to know as well. Is there any way to send/recieve SMS texts from the wifi only N7?
Tablet talk? Use your N7 like your phone.

The Google messenger app that comes with Google+.

I use Google Voice for SMS messages and Google Talk for chat.

Google voice for sms/ add grove ip to that and get full phone functions .
Tablet talk if you want to relay text and calls to and from your tablet thru your phone..
there is also tab text .. sync sms. and a few others out there..
IF your phone does not support tethering to do the above using your phone. You can try pda.net app from tablet.. I think it still works for most handset/tablet variations..

Agreed.
And more people should be using it.
A lot of people have an android phone and don't even know you can video or voice call using Gtalk.
Spread the word!
Pinger? U can text and call, but u need to buy minutes if u run out, or install free apps to get minutes.

Is it possible using my regular cell phone number (not google voice)?
I have a windows 8 phone as my phone if that makes a difference. Thanks.

uf, theres a 100 threads about this.
Search for whatsapp, tablet talk, viber threads, theres ongoing discussions going on. However, I think you require an android phone to make them work, but I'm not sure.
Which I why I made this thread...I don't have an android phone.

My main phone is a windows phone. We need to install that app on both the tablet and phone to get it to work. Windows phone doesn't have that app.

You can use Desk sms.. its by clockworkmod. I think it will do what your asking.. Google voice will as well. Setup google voice on your desktop computer.. Have your test forworded to your google voice number. Then on your tablet you can send and receive text with google voice.. .Other sms apps will also pick up google voice text...

from what i've read, the possibilities are currently limited. you can receive MMS thru Google Voice if the sender is on Sprint. (it will be viewable in your email). they are working on getting more carriers on-board, maybe someone knows of any other options...?
question about cloud sms, does it work even if your phone is off? my phone's charger usb port is broken and its a pain trying to get it to charge. im still paying of my phone plan.
So ive been ising this heavenly wifi calling feature for a bit, but today I tried to send an mms amd it just wouldnt send. So I disconnected wifi and boom it sent right away... Anyone know why sprint left out mms if sms and voice bothe work perfectly with wifi? And anyone know of a fix?

i second this.. but only when im using hangouts as my sms/mms app and not the stock messaging app, that works fine on wifi calling. I am willing to bet you are using hangouts too?

Yea likely an APN issue with hangouts and whatever APN the WiFi calling uses, like I said it will work fine in stock messaging but I doubt sprint will help us fix it in hangouts. You can try playing around with your apns in hangouts to see I'd that helps
any fixes?

so I was going through the APN settings on hangouts on my Note 4 and there are quite a few, has anyone figured out the magic one yet? im guessing that itd be the same no matter what device we have...at least I am hoping. it doesn't help that it doesn't have numbers or anything attached to the APNs
