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

How to get rid of google voice settings?

So I tried to see what google voice does exactly and I seen its not necessary for me so I uninstalled it but noticed that its settings are still on. So I reinstalled it and went in the settings and signed out which was supposed to take it off completely but its still there. When I get a phone call and answer I always have to press "1" to answer. And I get txts and e mails of my voice mails which I don't like. How can I get rid of this completelyyy?

this is normal.. you have to login to GV in a web browser and change the settings.

You have to change call screening options.

guess i should have been a little more specific..

At&t visual voicemail!

Got mine working... I kept trying to use the password for my account... then I was trying to use my passcode... then I remembered my voicemail password from 5 years ago was completely different...

Had same problem. Worked for me when I disabled wifi and set up att visual voice mail using my cellular data connection. Try cleaning app data in app manager and open att visual app using only cellular connection. Should work then.

Also, if you use the stock AT&T Messages app it integrates visual voicemail but you loose the ability to save voicemails as .amr audio files.
Instead you have to go to https://messages.att.net/ to save your voicemails as audio files.
Using the website is like Google Voice so you can see all your voicemails including text and incoming/outgoing call logs.

Thanks for this post. I didn't even know visual voicemail was supported!

I wasnt talking about att messages app- just to be clear it is visual voicemail app in play store that att crap sucks

The only way that I know of to deactivate googke voice is through the website and not the app.

I don't see any options in AT&T Visual Voice that allows you to same messages as .amr files.

Ugh, it was there a month ago. Maybe they removed that feature?

That's the one I downloaded. It looks and operates just like AT&T Messages. You might want to avoid downloading the newer copy.

Nope. That option doesn't exist anymore.

Haha I looked that is very true

ITS HERE! A better Google voice app!

Its called messaging+Google voice. Its just like stock, but it uses Google voice for sending texts.
Sorry if this has been posted before

You can already send texts with Google now... I don't get it
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

It uses the default messaging interface as oppose to the Google voice interface, which is horrible. I like this app so far. Its helpful because I don't have a text messaging plan and only use Google voice for messaging.
5 bucks...sold!

Doesn't seem to be working for me. Whenever I try to send any text via Google Voice I get a red exclamation error.

You can't initiate texts from the stock messaging app that go out under your GV number.

Like the Idea, but not sure I trust an App that can monitor messages sent to/from my phone, and also can request authentication tokens from my google account... Or an App developed by someone that can not even provide a valid Developers website link.
Not a fan of 3rd party apps that require access to this type of information.
And if you Google the Developer "DreamBig, Inc" it's all about College related stuff...

It's been working as well as expected for me. Not too worried about privacy concerns. It uses Google services to access Voice and not your username and password. But thank goodness for the paranoid/careful.

I had that issue in the beginning also. Then I went under Google voice and unchecked notification and the message asking permission to log in through Google voice appeared.

Yeah, no idea. I must be doing something else wrong somewhere. I have personally NEVER been able to get text via Google voice to work. I've tried numerous times and just get frustrated because I know its supposed to work.

Also... As you can see in the screenshot, I don't even have an option in the dropdown for texts.

Did you use the new "Messaging" app beside the already existing stock "Messaging" app?

yeah, but this isn't too important for me. The risk/reward factor is too high for me, for an unknown company to access my Google account, to do nothing really new for me. besides, I have unlimited texts.

App works great and since I use Google voice as my main number this is a function I have always wanted.
But now reading the couple posts I am paranoid and debating on uninstalling.

It passedv the Google tests, but it's just not important to me, if you use gvoice exclusively, then maybe it's worth a shot.

Was using Youmail until recently when I had an issue with the app continually trying to sync and wouldn't delete properly.
Went to Google Voice and like it a bit more. Lost the cool factor of the different types of voicemail announcements, but it integrates with your dialer app so my voicemail shows up under call history. Kind of cool to have that. No need to open a second app to get voicemail.

Download Google voice from play store if you don't have an account you can get one free at the website, after that you can set it up when you downloaded it

I use Hullomail. You can also set individual voicemail messages for each contact. I rather like it and the less tech savvy amongst friends and family are amazed they get a personalised message when they end up going through to voicemail.
It will also alert you to missed calls that you may have had when you had no signal.
