I was noticing this if I did not go into the text and just read it from the preview. Just go to the text and it should remove the +1. I also use SMS popup and that fixes the issue with the reading of texts.
I use handcent and just disable the stock messaging app.

Is there any app that lets you send SMS without getting charged for an SMS. I have 125 SMS to send in a month and I have come close to surpass this. I was wondering if there was a way to send SMS for free with out using my plans SMS. I do not mean use messaging apps that both parties need to have installed. I mean an app that works via the internet and sends SMS server side so as not to cost me any SMS fees. Anyone know of such?

Unfortuantely Google voice does not work in Canada for sending out Text messages for free. I tried this already. I had it send 2 text messages and I was charged to them as though my phone sent it and I was charged for sending a text to US as well.

That could just as easily be you're-not-using-it-right. A quick way to test: put your phone in airplane mode, then re-enable Wi-Fi (with airplane mode still on) and connect to a working AP. If you're set up correctly you'll still be able to send messages through the GV app. (And it won't sit on "Sending...", it'll actually deliver the message.) And you shouldn't be charged for it.

that sucks. i recently noticed i can text my friend in canada now. when i started using gv on my wifi only devices, none of my texts would go through to her. that was about 2 years ago. i dont know when they started allowing it but about a month ago we tried again and it works. im in the us. try the suggested wifi/ap mode thing. thats my usual setup anyways.

HI all!
I searched, found lots of threads about how to turn SMS NOTIFICATION off ... but .. I want to turn SMS off completely on my galaxy nexus ...
I am on Verizon, but, I'm guessing some folks would like to turn it off on the gms prepaid plans too ...
Basically, I want to go google voice, ALL IN!! Have everyone call me on my gvoice number, use my gvoice voicemail, give up MMS and use email for pics, and google voice for all normal sms txt.
I want to completely ditch my verizon txt plan, BUT, I don't want to have to pay for folks that sms txt directly to my cell phone number.
Is there a way to "shut off" sms to my cell number on my galaxy nexus?
Thanks!
Call Verizon and ask them to shut it off, I'm sure they are able to that way.

I don't you can have no text plans with Verizon, but there is a choice to pay only per text message with no monthly cost.
By default, Google Voice will still route the text messages to your phone, unless you turn that off, and choose to forward them to email.

I can grooveip then google voice txt over data, so think I'm all set, that set up lets me send unlimited sms that don't register with the cell company as sms.
I, and it seems other folks would too, need a way to NOT pay for spam / unwanted sms txt to our cell phone numbers.
Anyone else got any thoughts? Sounds like this isn't a Galaxy Nexus question then, I thought my phone could turn this off. Is there another more general forum I should be asking in?
Thanks!
The answer was already said, try reading please.
Call Verizon and tell them to block SMS on your line.

Verizon can block all texting, and can remove the texting charges from your account assuming you have an individual plan with a separate texting addon.

yes. sending and receiving messages cost money in the US.
to the OP, i used to work at VZW, they can block texting completely.
I thought if the phone actually didn't receive it from the towers its not charged to the account. I would use a freezer and freeze the messenger app

If I have VZW turn off sms for my account, if someone sends me a sms, does it bounce back at them, or just look to the like it was delivered, and go off into nowhere?

The phone won't physically receive it to where you can look at it but the data will still be sent to the phone.

I love Mighty Text - lets you send/receive SMS/MMS from PC just as if it was sent from phone and it even shows up in your phone.
It's great, but ever since I got my note 3 I can't get MMS to send through Mighty Text. I can send MMS through phone.
I also have Handcent SMS on the phone but that wasn't a problem with my S4 or previous phones.
Anyone have this issue or better yet a solution?
Obviously it's not critical sending text through MightyText still works but I'd like to be able to send MMS that way again.
Thanks

I have Note 3 and same issue. MMS is not sending.
If you are on Wifi, data must also be enabled for MMS to work. I am using Handcent.
Sent from my rooted Note 3 (N900T) using XDA Premium
I'm not using Handcent or any other text app and I'm having the same issue. Galaxy S3, Android 4.3 and MightyText 4.62. Any tips? Mobile Data is on but can't send group messages or MMS picture messages from the Chrome Web App. All I see if the little clock in the corner and that the message is pending. On the phone I have tried lots of things. Uninstall/Reinstall, Restart, unlink/link, clear cache and data. No dice. Any ideas appreciated.
Possible solution?
I'm on a Note 2, using Handcent and MightyText, and was having the same problem. The following seemed to help: in Handcent settings, I made Handcent my default program for MMS only (when it was default for both SMS and MMS, they didn't go through to MightyText). Hope this helps.
I also cannot send MMS/group message on the computer. I tried to install tweakker, but every time I run it, the app quits by itself... Any solution to this? I tried installing Handcent and making that the default for MMS, that did not help either.
I am running Kitkat on VZW HTC One.
I tried Hand (job) Cent but was not too impressed with the fact about when folks sent me MMS messages. It would want me download them.

It took me five minutes to figure out what all the settings mean and how they work. Maybe because I'm (23 years) old... too old for these tech gadgets. And MightyText still doesn't work for MMS/group message
I got mighty text working with MMS. You can't be on Wi-Fi at all with your device. It's slow, but it works when only on mobile data.

MMS not sending MightyText/SGS4/Android 4.3
Hi
Did anyone come up with a solution to this as I'm hitting the same issue with my Samsung Galaxy S4 on Android 4.3? Everything else works really well - just cannot send MMS or Group messages (which I believe are sent as MMS too).
Have a support ticket open but ~2 weeks now and no reply.

I'm getting the messages on chrome telling me that its not connected and not working right. I have to keep resyncing them. Ahh it used to work so smooth.
Hello,
I am also running NOTE 3 and handcent with this issue. SMS works fine but MMS stopped working. it was all working fine on my Motorola RAZR HD XT925
going to test with other SMS tools and see what resulkts I get. Its a shame cause I really like handcent
Stop texts from breaking up, How?
Every time I get a long text message it's broken up into multiple messages, it's annoying because sometimes they dont all come in at the same time, or they do and i think i have a **** ton of msgs lol. It's the same on the stock messaging app and google's messaging app. Is there a setting somewhere that I've missed? It's happened with incoming msgs from iphones and android phones on different carriers.

There is little you can do, it is the carrier of the sender that is doing it. Many carriers limit the number of characters you can have per text. So if they go over it gets broken into multiple text messages. It is not an issue on your end.
I also hate this.. When I had att I didn't have this problem..
Wasn't there an option to send messages bigger then a # of characters through MMS instead of using normal split SMS?

Yes I think there is. This is for sending messages though. When receiving a message it depends on how the senders app sends it.

Easy fix, just make hangouts your default SMS app...
Otherwise you're at the mercy of the carrier.

Just a guess, but I'd say it's likely due to being Google's app and having tighter integration with the framework than carrier based bloat.

Just tried this sending myself a very long text via Wi-Fi on Sprint messaging app; it does work to combine the messages without converting to MMS.
Like others have said variables may limit results. My wife is also on my Sprint account using an iPhone 5 and her messages to me split from what I can see; don't know if hers from me split or not. Cross platform texting hasn't been reliable.
Have you tried the setting?

Initially failed to Motorola Photon Q. Had found the setting and enabled it and rebooted the phone; split the long message into 4 out-of-order texts. Did the System settings/System update/Update Profile on both phones and it works both ways. Sent the same text to to the iPhone 5 and it split. I've asked my wife to update her profile but she's busy; will try again later.
On my phone, had to defrost Samsung DM Service and reinstall Sprint Zone and let it update and opt out of EUL anonymous data sharing, agree to terms before I could update the profile.
BTW, combining the long text and sending a short text after that may have the shorter message arriving first. I actually sent an inquiry after getting notification that the long text test message had been forwarded back to me. The notice and inquiry went through before I got the combined message sent first.
I don't know if it happened to me or not.. never pay attention to it....gotta test later to see if if it's the same problem
How long is long. . I tested by sending to myself. But don't know if it is long enough.
My test text message consists of 80 words which was splitting into 4 text messages. Seems to be working between two different Android phones but still unknown if profile update will get it working cross-platform to/from iPhone. The Sprint iPhone 5 on the account seems to frequently have inability to sync texts with Android over Wi-Fi. Sometimes, it's just texting in general that the iPhone 5 loses.
For testing, just kept using the same message forwarded until it was received by both phones without the split.
May be wrong but sending it to yourself may only be an indication your phone can combine. It takes the profile update to tell Sprint you wish to use the combining method which appears to be an exception to every phone. Being on Gingerbread and CM for a long time, this is the first time I've seen the combining feature. About time! Hope it continues to work without frequent profile updates then broke again/update again.
This doesn't make sense. .i sent to my wife iPhone.. she received one full message but when she sent to me using the same text message it broke up to 4...wth

Did you perform the profile update on both phones? Does the Sprint iPhone have the combine text option for texts?
I haven't tried the profile update and retest with the iPhone 5 yet. Haven't seen the the settings menu on the iPhone 5, either. I think that phone is still on iOS7; afraid the update would result in early upgrade.
Not on the iPhone just the note 4
Open the stock messaging app and go to text message settings and make sure auto combination is checked.

Folks, I have had some issues since changing to my LG G4 from Apple. My first complaint is that I am part of a group message and have not been getting that, I only saw where someone replied to the original message but I never received that message, also, I've tried to text a customer twice and it just will not go thru yet he is able to text me regulary, can anyone chime in here to explain this to me and how it can be fixed possibly?

Allow me to recommend Messenger. It is from Google and is my go-to texting app. I've never had any issues with it.
I will try Messenger and see what happens, thanks.
I use Textra with no issues. Just make sure to allow it to be your default messenger application. I've tried a few apps and if you have found that if you have more than one messaging app installed on the phone, all of them will be able to receive texts, only the one you have selected to be your default application will be able to send texts.
I turned off iMessage after the 10 was activated on my line. I can receive texts, but I can't send to either iPhones or Androids. I tried clearing my phone's cache to no avail. Any ideas?
I can't post links, but Apple has a online tool. Google "deregister imessage."
Just Google deregister imessage. Put your number in and you will be all set.

Hm, that doesn't seem to be the issue. iMessage says it was already de-registered but I still can't send messages.
Are your APN settings correct?
Have you tried having your carrier add the IMEI to your account?
Were you signed out of all your apple accounts before trying to send a message? (If you still have the iPhone, try putting your SIM back in, then turning off iMessage on the phone -- then send a normal text. Then put the SIM back in the 10 and try again...)
Turns out it's an issue with Textra now. I can use any other messaging app. Kinda disappointing as I prefer Textra.

If you mean sent, then yeah, to the same people and everything. I think textra just doens't have a way to recognise that the SMS's should be sending and it just assumes that since they weren't sending before, they shouldn't be sending now. It's possible a factory reset would fix the issue but otherwise I'm not sure.
If anyone has alternative SMS apps to mention, I'm all ears. Currently using Google Messenger.
Textra works fine for me. Maybe go into settings and manually configure apn.
