Did this come from an App ?
Someone just texted you, either randomly or you gave them your number. Keep in mind many apps can see your phone number, like the Facebook app for example. The Facebook app in some cases actually lets your friends facebook apps, not Android apps but Facebook apps through the Android app, see your number.
Just ignore it. On other carriers I would recommend blocking the number but it really doesn't matter since you have unlimited texting on sprint. You can block numbers easily on sprint and on google voice though, so if it is bothering you just block the number on sprints website or on the google voice site, depending on which you use.

lmao I got one of these a while ago. I got a text bombing app and sent them 1000 texts telling them to f off. havent got another text from them

Be sure to add them to your block list as well.
So if I login to sprint I can set call filters?
That Google voice should I set it up?
I thought I didn't need it?
Got a text like this too... Maybe 2 a month. Just found out sprint charged me for one international text. Must be an app causing this. Either way I suggest saving it if you ever receive another, in case sprint wants to charge. Or just bomb the number.

What's the name of the text bombing app lol?

I don't recommend bombing the internatioal one.. That could be kinda spendy.

I'm interested in people with direct experience using apps on the N7 that enable text messaging over a WiFi connection. I'm interested in ones that truly allow you to send & receive messages to/from cell phones - not ones dependant upon email (as I believe gtalk is).
PS - The UI has to be easy to use, as this is getting setup on an N7 for my Father-in-Law - and he's 62.

Only app I use is tablet talk. You can connect via WiFi or Bluetooth. It can send and receive MMS also. It is the best app I have used. I use it daily. It is $2.99 I believe but well worth the price.

Really? I've always thought there were apps available that allowed true WiFi messaging. Some of the ones I've been looking at are:
HeyWire
textPlus
Talkatone
In the reading I've done so far, these all seem to be apps that allow one to do what I'm aiming for. I started this topic thread to see if anyone on the N7 has either direct experience with any of these, or any other apps that are similar in function/purpose.
You're saying that even these require a phone to be tethered through WiFi, or BT though?

This is not true. CLOUD SMS is an app that does not require blue tooth, or for the phone and tablet to be connected to the same Wifi. It is simple to use, your phone can be on data, or wifi(doesn't have to be same location), and you can send and receive from phone or tab. It cost 99 cents in the play store. I've followed it through the beta process here on xda and I would highly recommend it.

Thanks for the quick reply. I looked this app up and read about it. This app looks like it does require a tethered phone. Is that true in your experience with it, or is there a way to use it independently of a phone?

You have no clue what you're talking about, it's the exact same as tablet talk which i use.
So OP, don't get all excited.

I misunderstood your request. I apologize. Yeah it requires both phone and tablet to be on the same WiFi network in order to use for SMS/MMS.

The OP is talking about texting from a tablet over WiFi with no phone at all.
Can't be done, texts are sent over mobile data and not WiFi.
Google voice may be able to do it, but not sure.

Google Voice is an interesting angle to try. I wonder if it'd be over his head though. Thanks for that suggestion, I'll look into that one and see what it's capable of.

Doesn't tablet talk require that you be on the same wifi with both the phone and tablet, or be connected by bluetooth? Cloud SMS does not require either of these, my phone can be at home and my tablet can be at work connected to wifi, this is a fact, I use it every day. If I'm wrong about Tablet Talk requirements(haven't used it several months) then I apologize. I may have misunderstood the question, but the information I provided, in response to your comment that the phone and tablet have to be near each other, was correct. But your "tone" is both unnecessary and not appreciated. I was just trying to provide info on an app that I am familiar with. I'm not sure what your problem is.

I use Verizon messages on mine. It is Dependant on having a Verizon smartphone and being on the same wifi, but works like a charm for me. Let's you send and receive SMS amend MMS and pretty much anything your phone can do and doesn't require a separate plan for the tablet

Mighty Text let's you send texts through your phone using your pc. I am using the beta for nexus 7, so when I get a text on my Optimus G, I get a notification on my Nexus 7 and have the ability to respond to the text using the tablet, and no need to use the telephone. As far as the texter goes, they think you are texting from your phone. Even better, anything you do on the tablet shows up in your telephone's text app. Mighty Text also allows you to keep a history of the text. I hope this helps.

This is correct. I use Cloud SMS everyday. I hate connecting my phone to wifi, but it still uses the phones mobile data to send the sms through the internet to my wifi tablet. Also when im away from home, i tether them together and it also works perfectly like that as well. I hate taking my phone out of my pocket while im on my tablet, this way I never have to.

It's less expensive. I don't know for tablet talk but the Dev of cloud SMS is super fast to respond and to add features. You can find his thread on xda.
Also it s not possible without phone. Maybe with a 3g model and the sms app? Not even sure it will work...
Why not just set up a Google phone# and side load whatsApp? I have it on my n7 linked to my Google voice number. No problems. No needed to target to phone or data. True wifi sms ... And free.
The setup is the hard part...Very easy after that.

Mysms is a great tool! It can send sms over your phone and gets synched automatically. It even supports "internal" (free) messages from mysms-users and group chats (since yesterday). Very nice tool!

Yea Google voice lets you text via the tablet independent of or phone. You can even pay a one time fee of 20 dollars to import or existing phone number but if not just download the app on or tab and or good to go. And you can download the app on or phone if you want to text through that away from ur tablet

Have you tried changing the apns?
Might call tmo and check if it's been blocked.
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
Wouldn't be able to send/ receive calls/ SMS if it was blocked. Verify apns, if the person you bought it from wasn't previously using it with the carrier you're currently using it with, they'd be wrong.
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
Go under settings, more network, mobile network, then access point and see if there is a tmobile apn listed. If so make sure it's listed. If not, then menue and reset to default. That should work.

For some reason my xda forum app keeps getting uninstalled. I have it in a folder on my home screen, and it's still there but when I click it it opens the play store with the option to install.
Possibly related, my yahoo account keeps getting dropped. I don't get any email and when I open yahoo it makes me login again. And there's tons of email.
Another odd bug I've noticed is the first word swipe typing is usually way off and always a much smaller word the word I wad going for? God I hate not having root
Any info is appreciated
No one else has had any of these problems or knows how to fix them? Bump
Some how it got installed to sd instead of device. I moved it to the device. Hopefully that fixes it

This happened to me when I first used a Sprint Galaxy S4 and then took it to MetroPCS. I had to enter the APN info for T-Mobile and then set the APN as active. go to settings,more networks, mobile networks, access point names and create your new APN by tapping the PLUS sign. Save by tapping the bottom left hand button.

Did the Verizon phone save your APN? I know for a fact that SPRINT phones are stuffed full of proprietary references to Sprint servers.

Is your phone rooted? If so, I would try Titanium Backup and try freezing an app called VZWSetup. I did something similar on my wife's S3 and it worked well for using the phone with other carriers.........

Along with the APN, make sure the Message Center number is the correct one for T-Mobile: +12063130004
This should be in the Messaging app under Settings.

I am glad the last responder brought this up. Sometimes you will see proprietary Verizon and Sprint APPS that will not allow you to change the Voicemail either. If there is a Verizon Voicemail program I would freeze it too. As far as rooting your phone? No big deal.
