complemented with your mobile phone. Google Voice and Spooftel allow you to
send a text message from your phone using an application that turns your phone.

to "jail-broken" iPhones. <br />

LifehackerJul 15, 2011 - Cell phones and smartphones will differ in the menu options and buttons, but in general, the process of sending a text message to someone else's phone is pretty straightforward. From your phone's main menu find the "Messages" or "Messaging" option or application. Then select "Text Message" or "Text Messaging."
WISC?TVFeb 28, 2009 - Go to phone's main "Menu" and select "Messaging" option. 2. Select "Text Messages" (some might see "Send SMS") and then select "Write message." 3
I have been thru this. the bottom line is if you want to really want to stop the texting you need to either change your phone number, or use google voice where you can block whoever is texting you. Or turn off texting for a little while. I find google voice to work the best. The police won't do anything. Google vocie works very well I have used it for several years now. Good luck.
If you have Google Voice Mail...
go to voice.google.com, log in, click the gear (top right),
Click voice settings.
Under Phones, uncheck "Notify me of new voicemails via text". Save
Under Voice, uncheck "Email the message to". Save
Hello Dawn,
You cannot send or receive text messages with Google Voice, unless you have your own, Google-issued Google Voice telephone number. You don't -- you have a Google Voice "lite" account, which uses generic Google relay numbers instead.
If you are located within the 48 contiguous US states, then you can get your own GV number.
1st Get a 'gmail' account at google.
2nd download google chrome
3rd Search for "google voice"
4th follow directions.
5th ENJOY !!
I got a NEW number, you can Port your old number to the sevice IF you want. Free text & voice.. I set mine up to foward calls & texts to my pre existing cell number..
Google Voice is integrated withthe dialer. When you use the dialer, it uses Google Voice to call out. Theactual Google Voice app is where you'll get your text messages and voicemails. When you call or text someone, they'll see your Gvoice number. The main downside to it is that in order to get your voicemails and texts, youhave to have data enabled, so you wouldn't be able to use an app likeJuiceDefender. And if 3G goes down while you're out on the town, you won't beable to get your messages unless you can bum wifi off a Starbucks or something. Personally, I've only had that problem once or twice (but I use Virgin Mobile,with Verizon it shouldn't be a problem at all), so it wasn't a huge deal. Youalways have regular texting if you really need it.
