That was my terrible workaround previously. I had a client recently send a photo to my Voice number and it totally showed up, so maybe that works now? If I'm wrong, you can at least set it up so all your SMS show up as emails in your GMail, and then MMS show up as attachments. Easy-peasy!Īlso, before Hangouts was a thing (when Google Voice was handled separately), it couldn't deal with MMS. Use with multiple devices: Hangouts conversations are synced automatically across. I give out my Google Voice number for business stuff, just have it forward phone calls to my actual phone, then handle all the SMS in the Hangouts app. You can also send text messages using Hangouts and your mobile phone number. if you were to fully commit to the google voice number as your primary number, hangouts COULD be your primary SMS app on iOS. So strictly speaking yes- you can send SMS from hangouts if you set it up correctly and don't mind them being segregated from your imessage app/identity. i have a google voice number, and use hangouts along with this google voice number to send SMS to non-imessage (android, etc.) people on my cellular-enabled ipad.

There’s no timeline attached to the report, apart from some speculation it could arrive with Android KitKat, but in all likelihood this functionality will be generally available to Hangouts users regardless of their OS version.There's no way to send an SMS from Hangouts on desktop, iOS, Windows or through browser. SMS has long been in the cards for Hangouts, and hopefully it’s arriving soon. It could also eat away at more carrier business, as combining the two and favoring Google+ based messaging first would have a similar effect to iMessage, where carriers eventually derive less revenue from shuttling SMS content back and forth.

FB’s messaging app already offers SMS integration, but Google’s Hangouts version would ship on devices pre-installed, and could conceivably replace the Messaging app altogether, making it the default option for Android users. It would also be potentially bad news for competitors like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger. It would be easy to see it taking the next logical step from there and offering VoIP services, too, providing a complete over-the-top service. It would consolidate one more service/app offering into Hangouts for Google, which has already subsumed Google Talk and Google+ Messenger. When you get a Hangouts or text message on your watch, your device.

The update would also offer up video sharing via Hangouts, the report claims, but the biggest news for both Google and for other third-party messaging platforms would be the SMS integration. You can send text messages and respond to Hangouts messages right from your Android Wear. There’s also a screenshot of the settings where SMS can be toggled on and off.

In the screenshots, Hangouts is depicted as showing messages clearly sent “via SMS,” as well as being able to “Send an SMS message” in the existing compose screen. (If you upgrade your account, 20 buys you about 2,500 text messages in the United States. The new info comes from Android Police, which says it had heard that Google would be building SMS integration into Hangouts in a version releasing soon, a report that was then corroborated by screenshots from an anonymous tipster.
That would fulfill a promise made a long time ago, near when Hangouts was first announced, by Hangouts and Chat community manager Dori Storbeck. Google is said to be prepping an update to its Hangouts instant messaging/video chat Android app that would allow it to integrate with SMS, making it possible to get all text and MMS messages right in the same inbox.
