SMS sync 2 phones one tab

[kyleco]

Hi all, hope you can help me out with this one!

My scenario:
One phone active with small regional carrier(basically DI4G) (1)
One phone active with Verizon (DNA) (2)
One tablet (Nexus 7 Wi-Fi only) (3)
Many devices in pocket with much confusion when anything dings)

I am looking to be able to text from either phone using my tablet, and be able to text from 1 using 2 or from 2 using 1.

My current setup is desksms on both phones using different gmail accounts and tabletsms on both phones and the tablet.

This works OK for texting from 1 on 2 or vice versa, but the tablet can only be signed into one at a time and it is difficult to switch accounts. Does anyone have any suggestions for being able to text from both phones on the tablet at the same time?

Hoping someone else has a situation like mine and can shed some SMS syncing light on this for me It think I've purchased every SMS syncing app in the play store so paid apps are not an issue. Also willing to use multiple apps if necessary.

Thanks for any ideas

Hi kyleco,

you posted the question a while ago; hopefully my reply does not come too late for you.

I have been in a somewhat similar situation and I'll share with you how I solved it. I have two private phones with separate phone numbers like you. Usually I only want to carry one mobile device (HTC One and Galaxy S2) with me but still send and receive texts from both numbers. I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 which I mostly use when I am watching TV and sometime I have my phone laying around the house and not with me.

I've been searching through the Play Store countless times until I found an App that helped me configure my devices so they operate in the way I want. I set up the mysms app(simply search for mysms in the play store) on both my phones and created two separate accounts. Then I installed the mysms app for my Galaxy Tab. Now I can sign into both accounts that I have on my smartphones and send text messages from their number.

To solve the problem with carrying two devices with me I downloaded the mysms mirror app on both phones ('mysms mirror' in the play store - free 30 days trial version available). Now I can sign into each account from both phones. The texts are sent with the phone number that I sign in with into the mirror app.

Pretty cool setup huh?

I hope my reply was helpful to you.
