After 5 long months of working on it, Google Voice Easy SMS 2.0 is now released to the public, for free, like always! Send and automatically receive Google Voice SMS right on your phone over your data plan!

I've not been able to find a free application for Windows Mobile that allows easy text messaging (SMS) via your Google Voice account. I wanted something easy to use that also pulls from the phone's contacts list. So since I couldn't locate an app that suites these needs, I created one. After all, I’m a broke college student and I want something to give me free outgoing messages. Speaking of being broke, if you like what you see, consider donating via PayPal. After all, I'm probably saving you a good deal of money on a SMS package from your provider! You can do it right from this page on my website:

Anything at all would be greatly appreciated!

Please don't mirror the installation file, just link to the above URL. That way current versions get distributed. Thanks!

Important Installation Note:
Once you have downloaded and installed Easy SMS, you'll need
to enter your Google Account information by going to 'Menu' -> 'Settings' -> 'Google Account Settings'. Fill in the info, then do 'Menu' -> 'Check for Messages'.

New In Version 2.0

• Pretty much everything is new!
• Easy SMS is now a full suite application. You can both send and receive Google Voice SMS through it for FREE.
• All bugs with the old 1.x series have been fixed.

• It's free. Who doesn't like free stuff?
• Sends messages via the data connection, meaning your outgoing SMS costs you nothing
• Interfaces with your phone's contacts list
• Connects directly to Google via SSL to send your message, no man-in-the-middle servers that could potentially harvest your Google Account password
• Signature support
• Send to multiple recipients at once

• Windows Mobile based device; software has been tested on versions 6, 6.1, and 6.5, but the program may work with other versions.
• .NET Compact Framework 3.5
• A Google Voice account
• Cellular data plan or WiFi connectivity
• If your cellular data plan charges by the kilobyte, be sure to keep track of your usage; this program uses very little bandwidth, but don't try to blame data charges on me
• You must abide by the Google Voice terms of service when using this program

This is exactly what I've been looking for since I found out google incoming sms could be routed to an email address. Thanks so much!

Google voice only sends in the USA and accounts are only available to people in the USA so no it's not going to work outside USA.

I like small URLs This is the same as above, just easier to type in

The app works BEAUTIFULLY BTW

Combining this with the "Swype" keyboard, SMS is so much better now

Thank you for the TinyURL, I'll add it to the top post, and I'm glad it's working well for you

If Google Voice goes international, I'll try my best to keep it compatible.

I'm currently in the UK (live in Chicago), is there any reason this wouldn't work? I just get a communication error. I thought it woudl just use the data connection?

Which communication error do you get: bad Google Account username or password, unable to get value of '_rnr_se' key, or unable to send message(s)?

The program tries to open a few URL connections via the OS networking components, and if you have a data connection it really should be working. My only thought is perhaps Google's methods that I am using aren't accessible from outside the USA or something. If that turns out to be the case, I can program a workaround by bouncing the request through my own web server first, that way it originates from a USA IP address.

Can someone send me an invite for google voice please? PM me please

This app looks really cool. Would be great for me because I have a 300 text/month limit.

Thanks for the app. I just want to clarify, this app only send SMS via google voice and incoming text is still received as a regular text, is that correct?
Thanks.
