Anyone know of an application for android that will speak the number or contact, and the state they are calling from when receiving a call? Also is there an application that will say you have a text message and the name of the person texting you?

Yes sure.. ill find it for you. I used it. Says the name and the number when calling. Txt reads who tested and what the text said. Good for driving.. ill edit this post when I find it.
Edit: sms reader, in market. Try it out. Might be others not sure but I used that one.

Hey all,
I am looking for an TTS app that will read texts in the stock SMS program. I looked at Drivesafe.ly and it reads the texts upon arrival but couldnt figure out if I could get it to read on command. I'd prefer not to have texts read upon arrival, could lead to embarasing situatons. lol
Vlingo with in car will read texts to you, either on receive or just manually

I'm feeling a bit stoopid, can't figure out how to get Vlingo to manually read the text message. I guess I'm looking for an app that will allow me to press a button like fun>spacebar and have the text message read to me. Anything like that out there?
When you open vlingo and select in car it will turn on safe reader that automatically reads incoming texts, which you said you dint want. Under the incar menu though is a big safe reader button that let's you choose which text you want read.
Just doing it from the messages app though i couldn't help ya
Edit: ahh yeah sorry missed the from stock sms part in first post.

Looking for a sms/mms messaging app that uses my data plan instead of my text plan. Search with no luck. Anyone got anything......
That would just be email right?
Otherwise, SMS is always going to come in/send out via your text plan
I guess that would fall into email. Guess I'm looking for more of a chat based app. comes down to i would like to send and recieve messages with out a number trace.

What about "whatsapp messenger".. it looks like it might do the trick.

Kik messenger... similar to BBM....
The problem with most apps that say they are SMS replacements that use your data plan is that they are actually some type of IM program which would require the person you are trying to reach be using it as well.
I'd recommend Google Voice as it would be using the data plan on your end, but be sending a true SMS so the recipient sees it as an SMS. If they want to pay for a text messaging plan, that's their choice.
Certain IM clients like Yahoo IM can send SMS messages, but I don't think it's as clean, it's just easier for the recipient when they see a SMS coming from an actual phone number.
In any case, you'd end up having problems if you like to send pics via MMS. Google Voice does not support MMS (people have been requesting it for a while, I only hope it's on their roadmap).
Did'nt Go sms have this as a paid option?
Get Textfree...when u make account, it gives you number that shows up when u text somebody, and it uses data...I used it a lot on my ipod touch, not so much on my dinc, but still does the job

Live profile. It is supposed to work like blackberry messenger but you can use it cross platform (android, iPhone, BB). Downside is that tonuse it, both you and the person you are trying to reach need to have it installed.

Another one here for Google voice. I have about a years worth of messages archived too
I remember an app that a couple friends of mine had on their iPhone. 1 person could record a message and send it to the other. the second person would not hear the message until they went into the app. I cant remember what it was called so I was hoping someone here would know what I was talking about. I know there are a couple walkie talkie apps but I prefer to listen to the message when i want. anyone know what app that is and if there is anything similar for droid?
Um, call them and leave them a voice mail?

I believe in spring vvm u can start a new voice message and send it to a specific number.
When in apk hit menu then compose
Heytell is a walkie talkie app, but I believe that you can turn off auto play. You would get a notification that you have a new message, but would actually have to press a button to make it play.

Looking for an sms app that can report back to me when a message i sent has been read by the receiver. Need this for work been looking all day and havent found it.
Handcent says its does this but everyone giving feedback on that app are saying horrible things about missing text/not receiving text. I installed this and tried it sending about 30 text and 2 werent received until like 10 minutes later
Gosms - not sure if it does have this capability looked at the details of what this app does and didnt mentioned it did.
smspop up- doesnt do it just gives a delivery report. Which is understandable since this is just to make your sms pop up.
theres another one cant remember the name of it but the recipient has to have the app installed as well and has to be sent from that app.
Anyway to make the stock app do this?
**Mod's Delete if you want or merge but i searched over and over on this site and other sites and did not find the answer. Posted on here instead of general android app because this is the phone i use so im always looking at this thread.
Just use Kik messenger and get all your friends to join. It is live messaging and shows when messages are read. Just a thought, not exactly what you wanted as it doesn't work for SMS. A cool thing is it also tells you if they are typing.
Not sure if Handcent does that or not.

the thing is i need that feature for the text i send to coworkers.
i use chomp sms and it has read notifications fully integrated and working

It won't work with normal texts. Kik/all those other apps are able to show when messages are read because they're internet-based.
Only certain carriers allow it. Not sprint .

gonna take a look at that app. does it have issues with not receiving or taking too long to receive a text.
Edit: looked at the feedback and many complaining about not receiving text and many not being able to send messages but I guess ymmv

Am I alone on this? Since yesterday I was receiving all my text to the messaging app instead of google voice, I checked the setting I still was on GV all texts and just now a message from GV pop up saying how to make the calls, and the only option given was Do not make calls from GV. Now I tried to send a text from GV and it doesn't give me the bottom rectangle to type.
Anyone?

Help!

i use gv to text all day long at work, and haven't had any issues with it lately. so it's gotta be a setting on your account that's causing issues. have you logged into the website and checked your settings there? sometimes the app doesn't always make the changes.
Thanks for the reply, I had to basically install it again and its working just fine now.
