SMS for Nexus 7

About SMS for Nexus 7 Android App

***Android Marshmallow (6.0) users***

: it looks like you can finally use normal SMS apps, so this app is no longer essential for Marshmallow.



Since you are here, you probably noticed that on the Nexus 7 3G/LTE edition, you can't send/receive SMS messages, hindering the ability for many to subscribe/change options on various prepay providers.



You can now finally send and receive SMS messages from your Nexus 7 tablet! (as long as it has a SIM and a carrier plan with included texts, of course)



No root access required, just stock Android.
