Try Heywire from the market.
If you are needing to send messages via WiFi to someone else with either a smart phone or computer you might both try using Google Talk or other instant messaging app.

I use Textfree. Its free, uses wifi and they even give you real phone number that your friends can save and text you when they need to. Works great for me

You should just use a free texting app, you'll have a different number and only you would know it's you

I tried to find people, but I have no clue how to add friends. Do they have to have the app?
They do have to have the app and once you find out if they have it or not, you can add them by their phone number. Best app ever.

I never used it, actually froze the app. What is the benefits of using this app say over Google Talk?

What's so great about? Since I never had anyone else with it, I never had a chance to use it.
Nope... Samsung bloat.... Gtalk... Hooray beer!

it allows attachments (voice notes, pics, movies, files, and you can see someone typing.. gtalk is archaic..

Ok I will be going to a place where no company gets signal, meaning I can't roam, but I will still have Wifi so I'm wondering what, if I can, do i have to do in order to get Wifi texting? I will and am running CM10 M2.
Thanks

Best thing I would do is use a free text service like text free since it uses data only.

Use Google voice with your current number. You should be able to text. But no mms

Any special way I have to set that up?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Nothing special just select to use your current number. I would sign up using a pc though. Far more options and easier to navigate. And then download the app and sign in with your login. G voice is an great service I don't know why more people don't use it

That one costs $2.99/month for the service. The regular Zipwhip app works, and it's free to use.

Personally I would just use google voice. Just download > link it to your sprint number > done. Only thing is google voice can't receive mms messages, like pictures / video. But you can still text and get voice mail, and no additional cost.

You actually can receive mms messages. You just have to set up Google Voice to where you want to receive messages with your email as well.
If someone says they sent you a picture and you don't see it using Google Voice, just check your gmail. and go through the conversation and you should see an attachment.
Is there a way to make the stock sms app work on just Wi-Fi? I no longer have data service and I miss that themed app. Goggle Voice works but it's butt ugly.
I'm on cm10.1 and the latest epic nitest kernel.

You would think this is possible

Theres always text+
Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda app-developers app
I was hoping there was a setting or something. I mean the native messaging app is all themed out and I hate the fact it won't work over WiFi. Google voice does and so do others...
Thanks for the reply though, I'll take a look at text+
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Yes all these programs run through internet data rather than the old school cellular radio which SMS unfortunately is. Sorry dude, but text+ is your best shot.

Is there one? Does it work well?

Voicemail? Or is there an app called vmail?
I've been using Google voice. I switched over from the Sprint VVM when I made the move to CM10. I don't know if VVM works on 10.1 builds. GV works well and I don't get the extra text 9016 notification anymore like earlier CM versions.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Yeah I was wondering if there was a voicemail app that worked. I just called it vmail for short. I'm tired of those 9016 notifications and having the app is just so convenient.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, I've been pretty happy with Google voice. It seems to function as well as Sprint's network allows.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I'm checking it out. Are u forced to use its other features or can you just set it up so u only use voicemail?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app
Just voicemail. I can't remember exactly what to select, but just pay attention when you set it up. You can change settings easily from your Google account on a computer if needed. Do a quick search on how to setup GV without it taking over, that should give you the info you need.
