So I found this app called tablet talk which is supposed to sync your phone to your tablet via WiFi and it uses your mobile phone number, so you can send text messages and see missed calls, etc. from your tablet..... has anyone used this app, or maybe something similar? If so, how does it work? Is it worth the money? If this is something that works flawlessly, then I can see it is a must-have for a user like me who would love to be able to receive and send text messages from my tablet. Just wanted some opinions on this app, or something similar. So far this is the only app that I have found that can do this.

Brilliant app, I used it all the time before I sent my nexus back. It connects via Bluetooth or wifi, but i always used bluetooth, it was easier to connect. Text messages show up just like they do on your phone, definitely work the money
Just use the free 15 quid credit that came with your nexus.

Yep. Love this app as well. Great for in car as well. Now I don't have to have both my tab and my phone mounted to my windshield. Just my tab and tablet talk....text messages and answering calls (Bluetooth headset of course)

Using it as well, very handy app. Between that and Groove IP, I generally don't mess with my phone when I'm at home.
Just as everybody else has said, it is worth the purchase. I usually throw my phone in my room and carry the N7 around with me when I'm home so it's nice getting texts and calls sent to the N7 that would have been missed.
Funny seeing this post, cause not to long ago i posted looking for an app like this and someone referred it to me....LOVE this App and use it everyday....you can also accept calls if you have a bluetooth headset paired....its awesome and would refer it to anyone looking to basically use theyre phone features on theyre tablet....

Thank you everyone for the replies. I did end up purchasing this app today and have used it quite a bit just for texting so far. Don't own a Bluetooth headset so I probably won't use it for calls, but its definitely convenient to not have to have both my phone and the tablet next to me npw,. I love being able to received my text messages on my tablet. Showed it to a friend and they really want it now too, but the problem is they have an iPad and a Samsung s3, so I don't know if there is an app that is cross-compatible. If anyone knows of one I'm sure they would appreciate it if you could let me know. Thanks again everyone

You done need to use a Bluetooth headset unless you are in public. Otherwise you can just put it on speaker phone.

Before I got my Nexus, I used my Droid X as my primary internet browsing device. Now, of course, I use my Nexus for that but I don't have an easy way of sending links or pictures to all my friends (preferably straight to their SMS inboxes). I'm using Google Voice for texting but you can't send pictures. Anyone have any good alternatives? It would be nice to have a hacked stock Messaging app that can utilize your Google Voice number or something but I'm not sure how feasible this is. Also if anyone could assist me in getting calls to work through the Voice app I'd appreciate that too
Check out Tablet Talk in play store. Don't know if u can send pictures though.

Hello. I got my hands on one of these tablets yesterday and I really love it. However I have a galaxy nexus as well. When I'm using my tablet and I get a text message, I would like to respond from my tablet. The blackberry platform does this with their blackberry bridge. Is there something like this that would work with android? Or would I have to replace the stock messaging application with some third party cloud messaging app? Thank you

Try cloud sms...I've been following its development here on xda. It's in the play store for 99 cents you install it on both devices, then you can use your stock messaging app on your phone just like normal. You use the cloud sms app on your tab and all messages will sync. It works perfectly and sounds like it does exactly what you're looking for.

I've used air droid to do this, but its not native (you connect using the browser). I'm sure there's some third party app out there to do it.
Tabletsms/desksms by koush is fantastic. I've been using it for a couple months now and I love it

Mighty Text is working on one, I believe. They have an extension for the chrome browser on your PC, which I use often. So hopefully it will get done for the tablets. But you can still use it through a browser on the tablet.
Tablet talk seems pretty good. You can use it over WiFi or directly with bluetooth.
I am using tablet talk. It lets you answer phone calls, too. I have my N7 mounted in my car to play podcasts. It & my GNex are bluetooth-connected to the car's head unit. When the phone rings the caller ID info comes up on my N7 & I can answer it. It also does texts, too. I don't do that while driving
I found an app called dinamotxt that seems to be working. Sketchy at times, I think I will purchase tablet talk, mainly because I have Bluetooth everywhere, and I don't necessarily have WiFi. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions

I know there are a few apps out there, but I'm not sure if they are any good. I want to be able to received and send texts on my tablet to/from my current phone number, not a secondary one like most apps will give you. For instance, people would text my cell phone number and the text would go to the phone and also to the tablet...then I can type the response on the tablet and send from there.

I use DeskSMS/TabletSMS and I've never had any problems with it. You can get them on your computer through Chrome/Firefox extensions too. Plus, it's made by the guy who makes Clockworkmod, so you're supporting a great developer in the process.

It's available on the backend, but you've got to actually run apps that support the new features (it's all part of GCM if you want to look it up, replacing C2DM). Even Google's offerings using GCM though (Hangouts, looking at you!) are really...weird about it.
For text messages try Mighty Text. Just install it on both your android phone and the nexus 7

I've found a great app for me. NotiSync. The only negative point is, that this app only uses bluetooth. But its great, that i can configure custom apps
If someone have a similar app but per wifi, pls talk to me

Agree, Mightytext developer's really made my day a lot easier! Getting notified of SMS, MMS & calls that's incoming. Sure lot's of Apps gives the simular functions, but the great thing about MT is that you could have a tab running in your browser and get notified on the computer also, and that you can answer/create msg directly from N7 or webbrowser. Smooth is that it runs on your 3G/4G, so you'll not have to use bluetooth or wifi and flipping it on and off etc. Sure if you wanna use the wifi @ home on your phone, MT will of course use that route. Probably the most beloved product for me, because having long conversation over SMS is just dumb. When you have a keyboard that makes me input data that much faster, but not everyone is thinking like me Glad that's not the case though! hehe..
Best regards,
H.

Use a cellular phone.

Jokes aside, yes a cell phone would be better.
According to some, VOIP programs can have shotty call quality (for both you and the person you're speaking to). But if you're hell bent on it, there's an app that takes advantage of google voice (free) that has ads (pro version = no ads), and isn't that bad for just the ads. Link here
As for text, i believe many people use whatsapp but I've personally never used it, so I'm not sure how it works or if it will work in the way you're intending / interested in.
Hope that helps some.
