Help Texting with the Nexus 7

[permitit]

I am new to the tablet world and was wondering if you could text message from the Nexus 7 since it is not a phone therefore not having a number to text to?

Download the Google voice app from the play store and sign up for a free account. They will issue you a #. You can also port over your existing phone # to Google voice if you have a Sprint phone.

There's also DeskSMS and mysms you can give a shot.

TabletTalk is worth the $3 it is on the play store I wouldn't use anything different, you can the devices over Bluetooth or WiFi

Don't see why not, just connect via bluetooth.

I could be wrong but the last time I was playing with Google Voice it asked me if I wanted to port my number over from Verizon. Very tempting to be able to text from any of my devices.

Hi, have you actually spoken and listened through your nexus, cause that part doesn't seem to work for me, only texts?

I downloaded TabletTalk a couple of days ago. I love it!

You have to be "tethered" to a phone for it to work (sort of). TT needs to be connected to the phone specifically (need the app on both devices), so I use bluetooth for Tablet Talk, even when using wifi tether for my internet/data access.

Use bluetooth. Wifi was a little hookey for me, especially if using wifi tether for data. And you need the app on both devices, some people don't understand that at first, so just sayin....

I have, but it's not a good call connection for me. The sound isn't that good.
