app to send and recieve txt through pc ?

Hi
Is there an app that allows you to send and recieve txtx from the G1 through the PC ?. I have a nokia and use pc suit to send and recieve txt through pc at work. Just wanted to know if you can do something the same on G1/Android ?

Google Voice. Get an invite, setup a new number, and send text messages through "voice.google.com" with that new number.

just use an email address?? I send/recieve texts from the wifey all the time from exchange. although it would be awesome if there was a program to redirect all incoming texts to an email address so if someone were trying to get ahold of me, i'd know now and not 8 to 16 hours later. (prisons don't allow cell phones.)

I thought about posting this earlier.... there's a huge downfall to it: getting people to actually text that new number.

I could see the difficulty in that lol.
Although, what I did was go to "contacts.google.com" and create a group of all the people I text on a regular basis. Downloaded "Contacts GroupU" from the market, then re-sync'd my contacts. Opened up Contacts GroupU, long pressed the group name and selected "Send SMS." Finally, notified them of the new number.

So, you can do that by swapping the Contacts area that pops up when you choose multiple reciepents, Then choose any of your groups.

ROM?

Nokia X2 Android: SMS'ing groups?
I've got an X2... have created a group... but find I can't SMS them.
Yes it is possible to add people to an SMS one by one...
but can't find any way to select the group itself to save you entering multiple contacts each time you want to SMS a group.
Has anyone figured out how to SMS a group on the X2?
PS. All the software is up-to-date... including firmware.

Yes, the stock messaging app does not support group messaging. Seems very strange to me...I mean, what is this? 2011?
Anyway, if you update Hangouts and use it for SMS/MMS, you can use it for group messaging.

I was hoping that the stock messaging app supports group text but I guess that's not the case

Create a new message >Search for your first contact by name or number >Tap the "To" field at the top, after the comma >Search for your second contact >Repeat for your group until you're ready to write you message
This is how it has always been on stock messaging. Doesn't work like other messaging apps though e.g. only you get the replies, not everyone in the group

I just use Textra messaging app. It's like the stock messaging app on steroids.

Then...that's not group messaging. It's mass texting.

Forward Specific SMS To Whatsapp Contacts?

Is there a way to automatically forward specific sms's which match a keyword, to another contact via whatsapp?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I don't have the full answer to your question but you can detect a keyword in a SMS using this profile:
Create a new profile --> Event --> Phone --> Received Text:
Type: Any
Sender: leave this blank
Content: *keyword*
-replace "keyword" by the word you need to be monitored. Don't forget to put it between two asterisk otherwise tasker will not detect your keyword if its not the only word in the received SMS.
Then you can use this event to fire up a task that will forward that SMS (%SMSRB) to another contact via whatsapp. You'll probably need to make a script for that or maybe you could find the old whatstasker plugin (not on the playstore anymore and not sure if its still working). In whatstasker plugin, you can select a contact and the text to be sent. set the text field to %SMSRB.

WhatsTasker plugin - sending messages to groups

Hi everybody.
I'm trying to use WhatsTasker plugin to automate my Whatsapp messages: Tasker Schedule Whatsapp message with Whatstasker Plugin - YouTube
I know this is very old plugin, but it still works fine while sending messages to individual contacts. However, I have issues with sending messages to groups. I know we need contact ID and I obtained it from mgstore.db file. Individual contacts get mesasges sent with WhatsTasker just fine. But when Im sending messages to groups, I can see in my Whatsapp that the message was sent, but other group members are never getting it. Killing Whatsapp and relaunching it changes nothing. I wonder if anybody of you succeed in making it work? Or maybe you know any other way to send automated messages directly to groups?
Ill add Id like to do it with screen locked and turned off, of course with root access.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
I've found another solution with querying Whatsapp database directly (link at the bottom), but I can't get it work...
Although the OP's task doesnt work with groups, it seems that other user successfully updated it to support groups as well. Anyway, in my case the task is always end with Error 127 when running shell action, regardless if I try to send message to an individual contact or a group. I'm not sure if I filled everything as it should be... I'm not that skillful.
Could somebody try and tell me if it's working for you? Thanks in advance
