How to use Text Bomb without a carrier?

[spartaco1188]

There's a app called Text bomb, which texts a number a bunch of times through sms. I want to use it with my nexus 5 which has no carrier/service, it has Nextplus (textplus) I thought I could that, but I don't know how, or what are my other options?

thank you.

I thought they had all been removed from Play Store?
Either way it's a pretty shady thing to do to someone imo

I understand what you mean, but i'm going to tell them it's me eventually, not some random stranger.

Yeah the only reason I say it's shady is because I fried my friends old dumb phone with one lol.
But I guess they only work through a carriers sms system

There's some like textme that doesn't require a carrier/service.

May work if you can set it as your default messaging app if it allows you to (should)

If it works for you, be warned of this.

Reviews show that after 50+ texts possibly may stop working after a period of time.

Edit, doesn't matter since you don't have service [emoji3]

If you got no carrier service, you'll require some sort of on-line SMS service instead. An app can't send SMS just by itself.

That's why op mentions he has text plus

Ah, didn't catch what that actually was. It is a third-party on-line SMS service? So presumably the Text Bomb app is expecting to be able use a carrier provided SMS service.

I just had a look at Next Plus(Text Plus), and it's expecting numbers to begin with +1. Is the OP in the USA?
