SMS in Gmail

When Android first came out, there was one feature I like.

It can actually sync your text messages from your phone into your Gmail account and it is placed in a special folder marked "SMS".

Now since I am back using Android again, I just use Google Voice for my text messages.

But every once in a while, people still like to send me text messages using my old phone number.

What I noticed is the Android no longer sync my text messages to my Gmail account anymore.

I look at the settings in my Gmail account and on my phone and it seems the ability to sync my text messages is no longer there.

I take it Google no longer does this anymore? If so, is there a program I can use to get this feature back again?

If there's no way to do it than I will like to at least be able to archive my text messages into my Gmail account or my Google Voice account.

Thanks for any help! :)
