G+_Mark Mittelstaedt Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I recently switched from Sprint (integrated Google Voice) to T-Mobile. I am having trouble receiving MMS or group messages to my GV#. I have tried many apps that claim to solve this issue, to no avail. I know I am not the only one with this problem, and you may have already discussed this in previous show. Please help me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Dan Beaird Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 T-Mobile does not support Google Voice. However using the Google Voice app I am able to send and receive texts over WiFi and only over WiFi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Cole Brodine Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Dan Beaird - It won't send them over the data network? I have Verizon and my Google Voice will send and receive texts using the Verizon Data Network as well as WIFI. I still can't get MMS message at all and group messaging isn't really possible. (I think the Android Google Voice App can send to 4 people at once maybe?) I've been using Google Hangouts with most people I know, and that seems to work pretty well for me.

G+_Mark Mittelstaedt Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Cole Brodine are you using Hangouts with your GV#? Nexus 5? How does it affect your use of GV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Cole Brodine Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I have a Galaxy S3 on Verizon, so I don't use Hangouts with SMS at all. I use it only as a data messaging platform. I'm fortunate that all my family and friends are "Android" people, so they use hangouts heavily on their PCs and phones also. As far as I know, you can't use Hangouts with your GV# (yet...)

G+_Joseph Cappellino Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Mark Mittelstaedt - MMS isn't supported by Google Voice yet. It'll be supported sometime around May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Mark Mittelstaedt Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Joseph Cappellino if MMS is not supported, is there a workaround with an app that I can use my GV#? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Joseph Cappellino Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Mark Mittelstaedt nope. The messages never make it out of Google's servers. You'll just have to wait, like the rest of us. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
