Text app?

[webosFTW]

I have the 4G LTE version of the kindle and I was wondering if its possible yo text from it? It has a sim card in there and correct APN information. I tried https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.concentriclivers.mms.com.android.mms but it keeps saying please wait for service to be available when I have 4 bars.

Anyone? Since I can use data from my sim then should I be able to make calls + text?

I don't think the part that is used for data/3g is the same as what's used for texting and calls, but I am no expert, if u wanna make free calls get magic jack from the play store, as for texting I know multiple methods, but they aren't exactly native they are just apps, and sometimes you have to pay.

That linked you provided in the op, I checked it and noticed they said the app doesn't currently work and to use an old version they have a download link to in the description, did you try using that? Also are you on stock amazon or another ROM?

Ya I tried the link in the the apps description. I have also extracted my Galaxy Note's texting app. No luck =/

I am on stock Amazon.
I think it would be amazing to get calling and texting to work on it. Its like I am already paying for data which comes with minutes and txts.

Yea I wonder if it would work on cm, I thought I heard that hashcode had it working, but then I read another thread I saw people asking for him to get it to work, so idk.

I was able to get heywire to work. It does give you a different number.

I was perusing the forums and found a ROM for lte versions that's kinda in testing, maybe u can try it out and see if it works with one of the apps or a native one or something. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391776
