Hey everyone, so i was wondering is there anything like IOS imessage text service for ANDROID? i like how you can send text/sms to other ios users from imessage, but is there anything that WE can use on our android device? i was using Textplus but lately i am getting tired because ShoStock3 rom doesnt seem to be working..

If you only want to send to other smartphone users, get an IM app. Gtalk, ebuddyXms. Whatsapp, kik. The list goes on and on.

Try textfree.

I think that's how iMessage works though, more like tapatalk.

I've been searching for then answer myself and so far, nothing is perfectly matched with the sms package provided by the ISP but the closest to it is Whatsapp.
+ use phone #
+ instantly Tx/Rx with indications
+ ability to send picture, audio/video clip
+ group chat
+ works everywhere in the world as long as you have a) in-service smartphone and b) internet connection.

the downside is
+ all parties MUST have Whatsapp installed.
+ no IP calling.
+ cost $0.99 annually (first year is free for Android)

note: I want to find out if this little app would work with a non-smartphone # but on a tablet.

Whatsapp is also not free. First year free, $0.99/yr thereafter.

Absolutely right as I totally forgot about it.
It costs merely a dollar for 365 days.
I paid $5 per month for 200 msgs, so $1 per year makes me totally forget about it, especially first year is free.

+1 Google voice
Why would you use a third party app when Google voice does what you are looking for?
