I pose to you this Question, You have multiple devices all throughout your home, You have one phone with one number that does all your Text messaging. You sit surrounded by a wonderland of other devices, A Pc, Android smart boxes, Tablets, Watches.

You wonder, With all these devices, Why can I only text from my phone?

Well, there are literally a million solutions to this problem, But the solution I've found that works the best is a little App Called PushBullet.

pushbullet - Google Play

Text Mirroring is the Act of sharing your text messages between devices with the ability to reply without having to constantly carry your phone around, Have someone in the family or company over who needs to text and you don't want to hand them your phone, Just hand them a tablet with Pushullet and they can mirror from your phone. There's a lot of hypothetical reasons for this, But That's beside the point, I'm not here to push this app, I'm just here to inform you of what's possible with the devices you have just sitting around mostly collecting dust because we all know the truth, Like most of us you have multiple devices and yet, you have your favorite and the rest goes mostly unused.



Personally for me, I always hated phones, Not the idea of connectivity, But having to hold a little box to my head to talk, That just always bothered me for some reason, It's like you are a slave to the other person, You have to hold this box to your Mellon and you can't stop till they are done speaking. The whole idea irks me for some reason.

Anyway, You get this app, You install it on your phone and then you get this app and you install it on your other devices, Sign in on the app via your phone, and then sign in on the device you want to mirror and just like that, All your messages are now mirrored to your other devices. You can reply, make phone calls, Or just use the damned thing as a coaster to set drinks on, The sky is the limit.

My point is, All this Technology we have sitting around is just pointless unless we put it to work for us.
Make that 100 dollar tablet earn its keep.

Until next time, And there will be a next time, This has been Techie Stuff For Computer nerds.

I use textnow, textfree, and google hangouts
they each can be installed on all the devices
they all ring at once when a message show up
mostly I do this because I don't have any regular phone service, so there is no phone to mirror.

I should have mentioned those options, Thanks for bringing it up, Google hangouts and google voice are especially great options that allow one to call and text any number without even having a traditional phone.

I actually use google voice quite a bit. Somehow I forgot to mention them. As contrition for that and that these are great options, Here are some links for people to check out on these.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.enflick.android.TextNow
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pinger.textfree

These are great options that work flawlessly. And I honestly regret that I neglected to mention them.
