Korean Job Discussion Forums

I remember seeing a few years ago my coworkers had programs on their PCs that they could use to send text messages for free. Is there an app for Android that does this too? I don't mean Kakao, but a regular old SMS text message app.

Are you looking to text Korean numbers or US numbers?

I use Heywire to text US numbers on my android tablet. I haven't needed or looked for one to text Korean numbers.

yeah, Korean numbers. i have a pay as you go phone that i am sick of buying minutes for because all i do is text out. i can receive calls just fine. most of my friends have smart phones that i can reach with Kakao but there are few that have older phones like myself. i want to be able to text them from my Galaxy Player.

get a google.com/voice phone number.

THen get a google voice app for your phone. You can call and text people for free in the US.

If you want korean numbers, I have no idea.

have you tried using skype? it's not free, but it's not too expensive either... for your friends without smartphones, it's going to be tough to do anything for free, unfortunately.

[ewlandon]

actually its not tough its called google voice. You can access it from a computer or your smartphone app. That is prob what your coworkers were using.

also dont pay for skype when there is a free option that is actually much better.
