SMS from Chrome, fully sync'd with your Android phone

This is almost -exactly- what I need. What would make it -killer- is a client app for my Xoom honeycomb tablet in addition to the chrome extension. If I could respond to texts received on my phone without having to put away my tablet, that would be amazing.

This service, along with other interactive features, can be realized trough GTalkSMS, a jabber account and an IM client e.g. Pidgin.<p>I've used this combination for some time, and been quite satisfied with it. The only issue I've had, is that the GTalkSMS app steals alot of resources while running on my android phone. I hope this is not the case with Texty.<p><a href="http://code.google.com/p/gtalksms/" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/p/gtalksms/</a> <a href="http://www.jabber.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.jabber.org/</a> <a href="http://www.pidgin.im/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pidgin.im/</a>

What is the difference between this and the google voice extension (<a href="https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/kcnhkahnjcbndmmehfkdnkjomaanaooo" rel="nofollow">https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/kcnhkahnjcbndmme...</a>)?

Often I have wished my texts would show up on my computer screen. Texty does just that.<p>I've been using it for a few weeks and it's totally awesome. It's threaded, syncs with my phone, and is essentially instantaneous. Honestly one of the few killer apps for Android.

I use EasySMS for Android to do essentially this, but its compatible with any browser. I leave it open in a tab in my Firefox, and when I hear my SMS notification tone I go see who sent me a message and reply back etc. It is a nice piece of software as an alternative to this option.<p>I get a LOT of SMS messages, so this is a hugely useful application for me. I actually switched to Android just to get access to the EasySMS app--from Maemo/N900.

1. Another instance where (google.com) is quite misleading.<p>2. The screenshot, and this is as politely as I can put it, makes the app look quite unfinished.

Does this service still incur normal SMS fees from your carrier?

Seems to be stripping phone numbers and thus fails to send anything when I select a number from my contacts. I am in Finland and numbers look like +3584012345678, but the text gets sent to 584012345678.<p>This gets confusing, as the sent items are shown correctly in Android Messaging, but the messages are not delivered.<p>Also: Please add support for delivery reports.<p>(Copying my comment from the google extension page without a few typos.)

Exchange Server 2010 supports syncing SMS and sending SMS via your phone in Outlook. To send it goes Outlook &#62; Exchange Server &#62; Phone &#62; Carrier &#62; Recipient. However it is only supported in Windows Mobile 6.x. A little annoying that this isn't supported in Windows Phone 7. This is functionality that I have long desired!

Props to TextyTeam for cleverly emailing new beta users to ask them to upvote this post on Hacker News :)<p>This looks really sweet. Just the other day I was asking for an easy way to send text messages from my computer rather than having to grab my phone.

I used to do this with bluetooth way back when, so far I'm really enjoying this implementation.

Google Voice and this extension are practically the same. However, GV is only available in the US, therefore the new extension cover a solution for world-wise users (that currently using apps like WhatsApp sms messenger, Texty and others).

Great app!<p>However, it would be nice if it could use a different google account from the one that I am logged into in chrome. (my phone has its own google account)

I've been using Deskdroid for this purpose. Works pretty well. <a href="http://deskdroid.com" rel="nofollow">http://deskdroid.com</a>

This is the kind of thing that, if Microsoft did this with Internet Explorer + Windows phones, they would land in court over.

requires &#62;= android 2.2.<p>i am stuck at 2.1 but so want to use this.

Anything like this for iOS?

Am I missing something? Why not just use Google Voice?

Invite only?
