Sorry, but I am new to Android, and my google GN does not even get here until tomorrow. I was wondering what is the best app that allows you to text via wi-fi, and if so, does it work for international numbers? For example, in Windows or on iPad, I believe that you can do this via Skype, but does this also work on the Android version of Skype, or is there another app that is a better choice? I think Google Voice may do this as well.
I was originally looking for Prepaid plans that offer this, but Straight Talk currently does not, and their $45 plan appears to be the best one going, as I need more than 100 minutes of talk time per month. I know that Simple Mobile offers free International texting, but the reality is that in most instances where I would need to use this, I would be in an area where I could have Wi-Fi access.
Thanks for any help or insight.
If you use Google Voice, that number should be able to text any number for free over just data (not over standard SMS protocol).
Thanks - I just Googled this topic and added GV to my post - my current Sprint TP2 does not have that capability, and as I noted, my GN gets here tomorrow.

I don't get what you're saying... Google Voice lets you SMS with a new number (or current number if you port it in) and text over data (phone or PC) with that number. Doesn't matter what phone you have.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. My old phone (HTC TP2) on Sprint was WinMo - there is no Google Voice App for WinMo, and my Sprint number was a corporate number, and Sprints GV integration does not work with corporate numbers. So, for me, I am trying to cut down to one number for everything anyhow, so using GV for SMS and having my GV number show up is ideal anyhow.

You don't have to have Sprint integration with GV to use GV. You can port your number directly, or have another number just for int'l texting.

That is true on Android or IOS, but not on Windows Mobile. There used to be a 3rd party Google Voice App (iDialer, I think), but it is not supported or available anymore. I just came across another one on xda called Google Visual Voice that I am going to try out, but it is sort of a moot issue at this point as I will be on Android with a new Google Galaxy Nexus tomorrow...

No, you're not understanding me. You can have Google Voice and a dumbphone if you want. You don't even have to have a phone. You can text from the browser.

Okay, so I have had my GN for about 5 days now, on Simple Mobile, which supports international texting, but the data side is pretty slow (I have the $40 3G service right now). So, I decided to test Google Voice to text via the browser, and guess what? They do not support international texting. So, I will need to look for another way to do this using the data plan and not SMS as a regular phone function. I will do some more searching, but does anybody have a suggestion in the meantime? Thanks.
UPDATE: Looks like Skype will work, have a test text out right now, will see if I get a response.
ANOTHER UPDATE: Yes, Skype works. Not the most elegant solution, but it does work. Ideally I would like to end up with a single messaging app, like Google SMS that would work internationally, but we will see.

Anyone else here using Google Voice? And I don't just mean for the voicemail part. I just set up a number online with them and I'm considering dropping my unlimited SMS with VZW and using the Google voice SMS instead.
I'm just curious to see if anyone else has tried this? The number I got is the same last four as my current one, but the prefix is different, so that's not too bad. I figure I could drop my bill almost $30 by no longer using VZW's SMS service.
This is one of the first reasons why Android interested me. I've never paid for txt messages & never will.
Limitations:
1. You can't send an email-to-txt to a GV number
2. You can't receive MMS
3. You can't send txts to short numbers (like "Text REDCROSS to 90999")
Unless those features are worth $360/year, I think it's an easy decision...
Been using GV as my primary number for over a year now. My most recent VZW bill shows 0 text usage even though any of my friends would tell you that we exchange tons of texts
The biggest shortcoming is the lack of MMS support. If your friends aren't in the habit of sending you picture messages though (my circle just uses email), then it's a non-issue.
It's also great that using the Local Google Voice Settings Plugin with Tasker allows me to tweak GV call forwarding on the fly. Call me while I'm at work and you'll hit my desk phone. Call me in the evenings and you'll hit my cell.
Ok everything sounds pretty good to me then, the lack of MMS support is kinda weak though, I do that pretty frequently. I was considering just straight porting my number to them, but then I decided it wouldn't be worth it with my ETF. I'll give it a shot though with email instead of MMS, with Androids and all the options to share media, I'm sure I could live without it.
Afterthought: next question about GV, anyone have a way to integrate the incredible's messaging app with the SMS of GV? Mostly because I like how I have my widgets set up and would like to continue to use them. And secondly because GV isn't the most aesthetically pleasing to me at the moment
Well, you can choose to have your GV# forward text messages to your cell#. That way you could still use your stock messaging app/widget. The problem with that approach is that people's numbers won't come through looking like their number. Instead, you'll see another number that GV is essentially using as a proxy.
Before I had an Android device, I had my contacts set-up to take this into acct. So Johnny Smith might have phone number 444-555-6767, but when he called or texted my GV#, my phone would show incoming from 999-111-2323. I would store both the regular number and the 'proxy' number into someone's contact.
Your life will be a lot easier if you just use the GV app/widget. I'll take functionality over aesthetics any day, but that's your call.
But the problem with forwarding the messages to my current carriers number is that it defeats the purpose of dropping the unlimited texting. I'll give it a shot, I future dated the change on my online account to start next billing cycle. Should give everyone enough time to take down my GV number. Thanks for the help guys! Anyone else that has something to add whether they're pros/cons please let me know.

Indeed. But you asked how to use the stock messaging app with Google Voice. That's how.
No stock messaging system is going to integrate with Google Voice while also keeping your text usage at 0. Your phone doesn't 'think' it's receiving SMS. An SMS app isn't going to 'see' the GV text (unless you have it set to forward to your existing #)
I was actually thinking about this the other day....interesting responses, thanks guys
One thing great that has gone unmentioned is the browser accessibility of google voice....phone issues? Can text anywhere you can get internet via browser. I've used that a fair amount. The way the number can be routed to other phones is always a useful thing as well. I like not being attached to my physical phone numbers anymore.
I just got a google voice account the other day. I am still trying to figure out if I like it. So far it is pretty good. The voice to text is not that accurate yet but I hear that it improves over time. I have not given it out to people yet so not sure how it will work once I do that.
Thanks for the info...

I use GV as a business line. Complete with a business VM message. I love the fact u can screen the VM live then chime in if u wana talk. MMS is the only reason I will not use ot as a vzw replacement #.... Other wise I use it daily.

Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
that's correct, you will be charged if you have texts forwarded to your carrier phone #. Think of the google voice app on phone as a chat interface that is linked to a phone #. I have also thought as mentioned it's not the prettiest app...but there are some themed versions out there to be sure.

Yes. If you have forwarding on, your phone treats it the same as receiving a regular text, since Google is forwarding a regular text to your Verizon phone #
I just use it to see how transcribing works. It is funny on many people but it usually gets the numbers right, which is awesome
I am with you 100% on the transcription - it is hilarious. It has no idea in the world what my wife is saying - 1 in 10 words right, I would guess! I only keep it on for the entertainment value.
So far I'm pretty happy with it. It does have those neat screening features for incoming calls. One weird thing I got was a voicemail recording of the phone ringing and my mom picking up and going "hello? hello?" Hopefully bugs like that don't happen too often. The one thing I will miss is the MMS ability, but hey, I have a Droid Incredible, there are many ways around that.
As for the themed versions of GV, can you point me in the right direction? I'd like like to see what I can find. Thanks again for all the responses, definitely made the decision a lot easier for me.
The best part of GV thus far is that I dropped my bill almost $30 a month. Sprint can suck it with there $69 simply everything plan....mine is Simply Unlimited Everything for $55 a month.
EDIT: Nevermind I found some solid looking themed GV inboxes. Thanks again everyone for responding!
I have messaging completely disabled on my phone(even the vzw free text messages dont come through). I was wondering, if i use an app like Handcent SMS, will that work by itself? Will i incur messaging charges?
Also, i heard you can email a msg to a phone # by doing something like:
mailto:[email protected]?.com
if its to a verizon cust for instance, what would i put after the @? is it vtext.com, vzwpix.com, ???
I have been on google voice for a little over 2 years. And with that haven't been paying for any text plans, since then. Your best best is to incorporate that, either by using a number u can pick through what google offers in google voice as you se it up(painfully easy)
Or
Take the better but...harder route. (Which I did)
If u are out of contract...port your number and give it to google voice. Tell ur cell provider u need it for business voicemail reasons. And for you to receive a new one from them. Then for the rest of your cellular life u will never have to worry about paying for text and BONUS ever have to tell any one u got a new number...because now it will always be in google voice..and u can connect that number with anything!

I've been afraid to port over to google voice. It seems they tire of things easily and have a huge pile of abandoned projects.
I still always think of doing it though.
Another alternative is to use a app named textfree, it will provide you with a new number and unlimited texting.

well said, i agree on you with that. but this is too big. many people use it. it is so heavily implemented that it would be simply BAFFLING if they would. besides, there would be plenty of options in the event they did (free porting out, refunds, etc)
either way. i doubt it. smart phones have made this a number one bonus , the new york times wrote an article just last month on the death of text payment
guess who was one of the first to have the option?

You wouldn't be able to use Handcent or the like since they are just a GUI overlay to the stock texting app. You would have to use an independent messaging program like Google Voice which was mentioned above and I've heard a good number of success stories with it (not necessarily the porting your number part).
To answer your other question you can email any cell phone and it will go through as an MMS. Every carrier has their own email domain for it that a Google search will give you. For Verizon it would be [email protected].

I hate the old voicemail system found in Nexus. Any way to install sprint's voicemail system where I can download the voice mails and delete them from my touch screen?
Switch to Google Voice, or wait for Sprint to get their VVM updated.
Thanks! I guess there is no apk taht we can use that is compatible with nexus atm huh? that stinks.
Use Google Voice. It doesn't stink. In fact, carrier VM apps positively reek compared to GV.
i think you guys misunderstood me. I wasn't saying that voice stinks but the fact that nexus doesn't have vvm stinks lol.
But thanks will look into the voice.

Since you're with Sprint, it's easy to integrate your Sprint phone number into your google voice number. It's great because you can then text from voice.google.com on a PC and they show up as your cell number. It also lists all of your texts, which are searchable and always 'backed' up. The google voice app is just like a visual voicemail app. You can see a list of voice mails and delete/archive/listen to whatever you want. It's the one thing I miss since switching to Verizon.

You can still use Google Voice with Verizon. Basically, you configure your Verizon voicemail to forward to your Google Voice number, and then you configure Google Voice to send calls from your Verizon number straight to voicemail.
It's a more complicated set up process than you'd go through with Sprint, but its not bad. The only thing you lose with Verizon compared to Sprint is the ability to send texts the the GV website and have it look like they come from your phone. Instead, they'll use your GV number.

I fully understood what you were saying, and then indicating it was irrelavent. You don't use carrier VM with an Android device. You can get a superior GV experience. Hell, I switched from T-Mo to Verizon without having to re-setup my voicemail. All my old messages are still on file. That's convenience.

Ok, ive got a new galaxy nexus and its awesome! Im on the tmobile 5gb $30 /MONTH plan and its all I need. But I want to port my number to google voice and utilize the tmobile plan for the internet to connect to google to call. BUT, the problem I see is that SMS (?limit on google voice) and no MMS. So, heres my question;
1: Im setting up google voice with my number (ported) - connected with csipsimple for calling and receiving. This seems to be the best solution for this at the moment where when MY number gets called my tmobile "fake" number gets the buzz and when I call - the recipient gets MY REAL number. Is this still the best method?
2. SMS I understand through google voice or google or whatever is possibly unlimited. But is there an app out there or CMW flash that allows me to "fake" the number on outgoing texs/mms so anyone who recieves them from my "fake" phone sees the number from my REAL phone?
- Either that or a service that allows that feature?
OR
Is there a better method to get my number to google voice and have full VOIP (making/receiving) AND to utilize simple to use (preferably native sms app) to text sms/mms? Im open to ideas!
Thanks guys,
Rico

It's definitely a method. There's no perfect method when you're dealing with GV and VOIP solutions. Its gonna kinda be a hacked together job no matter how you do it.

SMS is unlimited. MMS isn't supported with GV. There are some (root req'd) apps that will integrate your GV SMS messages into the native Messaging app, otherwise you can just use the GV app and not deal with that stuff.

I don't think any of them support MMS. Some may support SMS. Google Voice really is the best option honestly if you don't wanna mess around with other solutions. It kinda just works. You just lose MMS on your native #. You'll always have your current carrier # to receive MMS if you really need to...
I certainly am interested in this idea as well. Thank you for all the links and info.

I think for now the only "fix" is to start a new SIM account with a throwaway number and port your desired number from T-MO to Google Voice. Don't give out the throwaway number and use GV for everything.
The problem with that is that you use their sms services. No MMS and the phone doesn't control the sms at all.
I have a straight talk sim on the way and I am gonna compare the service, although it doesn't look good with straight talk in NYC.

I believe all prepaid services are currently unable to use GV. They need "Conditional Call Forwarding" which is a feature not included with Prepaid plans. Straight Talk is what I use, and they also do not have conditional call forwarding.

Using GV for everything isn't as scary as people think. I quickly got over the lack of MMS support (email is a better standard for such things anyway). I love the ability to text from my main number in the browser regardless of how far away I am from my phone.

If nothing else works you can call t mobile customer service and ask them to remove voice mail completely - I made two Boost mobile phones work with Google Voice that way - it works perfectly.
This would obviously work if you want to use GV number for everything - for me it is no problem since I use mostly Google Voice numbers since 2005 or 2006, or from the beginning of GrandCentral.
I've made the switch to just Google voice and I never looked back. I don't even know what my "real" number is. Like someone else said about MMS, emailing pics works just fine for me.

Straight Talk ATT sim has conditional call forwarding... Straight Talk T-Mobile sim does not....
That's the choice... faster data or google voice for voicemail.... I've been on Tmobile $30 plan for over 2 months now.. Data is great, but I have found that 2GB is enough for me a lot thanks to Opera Mini and the voip solutions have not worked well. I really has a disdane for calling / prompt voicemail so I am going to give the ATT service a try here in Portland next month. I'll post some results when I get the ST ATT sim
I am trying to understand the issue here. I have Verizon currently and am using a GV # with no issues. My calls come in great, I use GV as my voice mail, and gv for texting. No one knows my verizon number.
I want to get an unlocked phone, and move to TMobile prepaid plan. My goal is to use my current GV number, and use google voice mail and texting too.
What problems will I encounter?

The only problem you will have is if someone calls your TMobile number when it's time to go to voicemail it will not go to Google voice voicemail. This it not a problem if, like me, no one has your TMobile number anyways. Everything else works the same way that is does on Verizon.
You can have TMobile disable voice mail so if some random person calls your TMobile number you won't ever have to worry about getting the vm from someone you don't know. Ie tele marketers.
