I used to have TextPlus on my Galaxy T-959 and I could text while on Airplane Mode if I had wifi but when I tried to upgrade I lost the app and can't seem to get back. Is there another app that would do the job?
Google voice.

Google Voice can't be downloaded on SGH-T959 because I have that phone and it is not available in Canada yet but if I had bought the Nexus S I could have done it.

I will be travelling to many countries and do not want to rack up any high data bills, so I want to be able to text either on Airplane Mode or with my sim taken out of my phone. I tried to do that experiment with a Google S phone but it also does not work on any of the FREE Texting that I have tried. The only one that seemed to work before was TextPlus and now this App cannot be downloaded on an Android. This TextPlus is now only for I-Phones, I-Pads etc.

I recently just flashed Cyanogen and was shocked to see no voicemail app installed. I searched around and saw google voice stuff but when I tried to set it up it wouldn't work. Can someone help me please?
I believe there should be a flashable zip or the like with all the google apps.

I already flashed Google Apps, and there isn't any voicemail app included in the package.
There isn't an AOSP app for voicemail [besides I guess Google Voice]
Darn, I guess I'll have to pick up my phone from now on.

I believe you can just install sprint voicemail.
Sorry, I'm a noob. I tried searching for the apk in a couple roms, but had no luck. Which rom and where is it?

There's no voicemail app, because we had this thing back before smartphones, where you called a number, usually your own, and would get to a audio-prompt voicemail system...
I know, archaic, but most of the world still uses it.

Dowload SPC (free from the market) and blacklist 9016. Works like a champ.
I posted a flashable zip for Sprint VVM a while back which works fine on cm6.x. I use GV for my business line and Sprint VVM for my personal line on the same phone.
Sprint's VVM works just fine on CM6 for me-- no "phantom" VM notifications or anything. You do get text messages from 9016, but I configured Super Private Conversations to blacklist it awhile back and since then I've completely forgotten that was ever an issue.
That's so weird... I just had this problem this morning... after a little browsing, I found the APK for sprints visual voicemail. Simply install it from email and there you go! I'm running cm6 and the sprint vvm is working perfectly. I would definitely suggest that!

Not if you have a sat nav app with preloaded maps...
This GPS talk is one of the reasons I went with the 3G/4G version. It is nice to be able to get mapping, restaurant locations, gas stations, hospitals, and all the other on the fly data. Not to say you can't download a map its just nice not having too. Its just at your finger tips. None of this has anything to do with the OP question so sorry OP..
any good ones to recommend? i cant find any maybe im using wrong keywords or im just bad at searching.......
You can pre-cache maps in Google Maps. Just make your route while you are connected to wifi and it will save it. It stays in the cache for a long time as far as i can tell.

thats because of CDMA limitations. GSM networks do data+voice simultaneously.
Wifi From Wife's Phone
@wildfan2k
Make sure your wife's phone supports infrastructure mode or is a Droid. Xoom does not like to tether with most Rooted Wifi options. Droid on the other hand can offer bluetooth tethering that Xoom does recognize.

I am wondering the same thing. Here is one important difference.
Net Talk - You will not receive a phone number-outgoing calls only
GrooVe IP - app supports making and receiving calls using Wi-Fi and/or 3G/4G data connections. It works via Google Voice.
I think I will take a chance on GrooVe IP.

nettalk app doesn't make use of the proximity sensor so it kind of sucks in the respect that it leaves the touch screen functional while running. I've been bitten by this a couple of times...
I might try out grooveip as I've seen several people say that it's decent.
I WAS going to try out skype, but now that M$ got their sticky fingers on them...

I'll have to try it, as other than not using the proximity sensor nettalk works fine for me on wifi, and with my usually crappy 3G here I don't believe that ANY app will work over 3G for me...
I'll post back with the results next time I use it unless someone beats me to it...
Thought this might be of interest to some people.
Yesterday I was flying American Airlines and the plane that I was on had Wifi. When I opened up my web browser on my Xoom, I saw that it was about $10 for the flight. I didn't want to pay that, so I closed my browser, but left my Xoom connect to Wifi. About 2 minutes later, Google Voice goes off saying I had a text message. I opened it up and replied. Come to find out, Google Voice worked fine without paying for the service. I was able to send and receive texts and listen to voicemails. I then wanted to find out what other apps worked. Gmail was the only other app that worked fine. The Google Market would let you search for apps and read descriptions and such, but would not let me install apps.
So the next time you are on American Airlines, you can get text messaging and gmail for free.
I have 5 AA flights next month. Interesting.

I have syncsms and it works fine but you need dropbox as well as the messages go through it. Another good one is textab. That one connects phone through bluetooth instead of using dropbox. Pretty handy.
