[Q]. Any way to have texts " forwarded" to my kindle?

Since I rooted this thing I've noticed I've been spending much more time using it than my S3. What I'd like to know is if there is a way to have any SMS or MMS messages that I receive on my phone sent automatically to other android devices where I can respond to them from there. Probably a long shot but thought I'd ask. Thanks for your time.

Google voice might be a good option. I use it with my phone and nexus 7

Does that service mean I'll have to use a new number or will all texts to my original number be forwarded?

New number, but old number can also work on your phone or you can port your number to Google voice.

App to link phone?

Hi guys,
I have the wifi only version of N7 and I use it a lot while at home. The only problem is that I have to keep reaching back to my phone to reply to SMS or whatsapp. Do you guys know of some app through which I can link my phone so that I can send messages through my tablet itself and not have to reach to the phone? Something like Airdroid maybe? Or Snappea? I can still use these apps through the browser but can you guys suggest some better way or app?

There's DeskSMS and TabletSMS.
You need to have DeskSMS working on your phone, then TabletSMS will work. You can also install a browser extension so you can reply to SMS via computer as well. DeskSMS costs money, not sure how much exactly, as it's been awhile since I bought it.

Hangouts would be an easier "fix"

Thanks guys. Google Voice isn't available in India yet. I'll try TabletSMS.
So the sms issue is solved. Can we access WhatsApp somehow on a wifi only tab? You guys know of a way?

Tablet talk is what you need. It sends SMS and notifications to your tab. You can reply back and stuff. I haven't used it but I heard it works great.

Can anyone recommend a sms app?

I'm looking to see if anyone uses a third-party sms app that they prefer over the stock? I've been looking at some of them and I like the sound of go sms just not having to buy additional stuff for it. I'm also looking for one on top of running well, that has the capability of working with an iPhone users group mms, cause right now when someone with an iPhone sends me a group message it only responds to the sender not everyone.

I would second that. It's got great emoji support (gotta' download the separate Textra emoji plugin) as well, and notification options, etc.
Really the best, IMO.

Cool thanks, I'm gonna give it a try

You know how you can....

You know how we can receive a message using Qpair than we can respond?
Is there a way or a app that we can CREATE a message from our Gpad and send it to the phone, than the phone sends it out to the person?
Thanks for any help....

I use an app called MightyText which allows you to do this.

Another vote for mighty text. It also has a chrome extension so you can do the same thing on your computer

Using MightyText on my tablet after your suggestion and it is a pretty cool app. Thanks!

Tablet Talk uses wifi or bluetooth and supports SMS and MMS

SMS APP ??

Are their any apps that send text messages with the Nexus 7 (2013) model? Not rooted. Not having any luck. My hangouts app doesn't seem to be working either. Any help will be welcomed.
Thank You, Vinny

I see you use Verizon. They have a free app that uses your cell number over WiFi. Works ok for me.

Have you considered Tablet Talk? I currently use it and think it works great.

I've used TT also and found it worked well too. It actually syncs the messages better then the Verizon app because it goes in and out of the phone instead of the N7 via Wi-Fi. I don't remember if there were more features with the paid version but it worked so well I kicked the dev for coins.
