How To Text From Your Android Tablet Using Your Cell Phone Number

So you just got an Android tablet and want to start texting from it? We already told you how to make phone calls from your Android tablet using your cell phone number. Now we’re going to tell you how to text from your tablet using your cell phone number. With these two apps you can keep that phone in your back pocket, make phone calls, and text from your Android tablet.

Introducing Cloud SMS. Cloud SMS is an app you install on your Android phone and tablet that syncs your SMS messages, allowing you to send and receive text messages from your Android tablet using your cell phone number almost instantaneously. Cloud SMS connects via your Google account, so there is no Bluetooth, carrier apps or nonsense involved. Text messaging apps that require Bluetooth connection, require the tablet and phone to be close together (almost the same room), which kind of defeats the purpose of having a text messaging app on your tablet if your phone is right there. Because Cloud SMS uses your Google account you can leave your phone in another room or in an entirely different state, and texting from your Android tablet still works flawlessly.

Cloud SMS is $.99 on Google Play and, honestly, worth every cent of that buck to have the ability to send and receive texts from your tablet. Setting it up is also a breeze. Install Cloud SMS on your Android phone and tablet, grab your tablet, and let the texting from your tablet or phone begin. There’s no painful set up involved, monthly fees, or a different phone number that you and your friends or family need to relearn. It really is that simple.

If you’re looking for an app that allows you to text from your tablet using your cell phone number, Cloud SMS is great way to get the job done, and done well.
