Help Asus Prime Tablet | ICS | Sync text messages

Hey Guys,

Got myself a new tablet yesterday and what I do is turn on my DHD's WiFi hotspot for the internet on the move. Just wondering if anyone knows how I can sync my messages so if one comes in on my phone it also goes to the tablet to save me getting it out my pocket all the time.

Also is WhatsApp messenger not available for a tablet?

Cheers,
Liam

Depending on what carrier you have, I use Google Voice as my text message service. I do not need my phone with me for the tablet to receive text messages. No mms messages though, maybe someday

I use tablet talk, it cost a couple of dollars but you don't have to be on wifi to use it, you can either have your phone and tablet on the same wifi network or you can connect through BT. A lot of times my Prime actually notifies me of the text before my phone does.

Yea, the tablet gets my text before the phone but what's strange, my phone gets my email first before the tablet. Seeing that I'm using both Google services, I find this interesting but it the email probably determines whether or not its spam, that's the only thing I can think of
