Flip Phone / Tablet text synching

[jmonty3020]

So in order to synch messages now, I need Google Messages? Well in order to use Google Messages, I have to synch my phone, but in order to synch my flip phone, I need to download Google Messages. I cant download Google Messages on my flip phone. How do I forward messages to my Tablets line? Why cant I just use Verizon Messages+? It worked perfectly.  Do I need to buy a new phone, just to send messages to my Tablet? How can my Tablet receive texts without Google Messages?

I would like to know how to sync messages from my Kyocera flip phone to Google messages now that verizon messages is shutting down 

[vzw_customer_support]

Hey there, Mks83, Google Messages is available in the Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging&hl=en_US&pli=1 on Android phones. If you have a basic phone, you will be able to use messaging on the native text application as opposed to Google Messages.

In order to pair the two devices you HAVE to have Google messages installed on both. You can't download it on the flip phone so it prevents you from setting up Google messages on your tablet.

If you have a basic phone, I don't think there's any way to sync texts across multiple devices.

There was with verizon messages

I'm in the same boat with my Kyocera flip phone.  The easiest solution I found  to send messages from a tablet or computer is to type my message using Google voice with my Google Voice number and text it to my flip phone.  Once received on my flip phone and viewing it, I then forward it to whom I want to get the text.  It works pretty good, although a little clunky, but it beats hunt and peck on my flip.  Hope this helps.

Thanx, Verizon, for abandoning your customers with a promise of a "richer experience."

Bring back the Verizon Messages+ app.  All of your "suggestions"  flat out DO NOT WORK!  SHAME ON YOU for ABANDONING Verizon customers like this.  I'm ready to move on.  MADDENING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
