I just came across quite a neat trick allowed by the great TextNow.
Thanks to the fact that it provides you with an email address, not only you can link it to your Google Voice account and text directly from the app, but you’ll actually have the replies pushed back to you.
It’s more of a hack than a real feature but it’s extremely useful. I text from Google Voice all day through mail.app and I must say it’s a true relief to discover this.
You’re going to need a Google Voice account, TextNow and a @textnow.me adress. Then just set up Google Voice to forward you your texts on email and you’re pretty much set. Derek from Enflick posted a step by step tutorial if you need more details.
Well, in case you still don’t own TextNow we have a treat for you. Thanks to Enflick we’re giving away this weekend not 1, not 2, not 5 but 10 Promo Codes for TextNow.

Thanks a lot! I would love to have a copy.

Hey I love google voice! I use it all day long !
This wold be the only way I would text, I refuse to pay AT&T for texting.
I would love to have a copy of TextNow!
Thanks!
This sounds great. I need a replacement for the gv mobile app
I’m in. Thanks.
I’m also in gl to all
Just got my google voice account last week – this would be great
thanks
Freaking awesome. Wonder how long until Google changes how it does SMS.
Hi please make this a nice holiday present for me I don’t get many
This would be awsome since I can’t afford a phone pleaseee
This would be my first app (paid)
If I win I’m dropping my AT&T text plan for sure!
I want one!
I could really use a promo code. I can’t afford a text MSG package. I only get 200 text’s a month. I have google voice so I would put the promo code to good use. Wish me luck guys. Thank You!
Merry holidays!
Just got Google Voice and would love to set this up
Would love a code thx
In for one please!
I’d love a promo code! Thanks for the offer!
It would be super awesome if I won a promo code it would be more awesome if appadvice accepted my application… but i would appreciate it if i won. I have a question for all of you. If you are a student and you are on winter break, what are you planning on doing?
I love this website. I’d love to win!
hoping to win the TextNow
#365th yay
Sounds very interesting!! I’ll have to check it out ASAP for sure!!!
I already have textnow with google voice. My God, it’s so amazing. I text over 3000 or even 5000 now, and it’s free! Enflick is my top developer because of all their support and ingenuity.
Cool feature! Would love to get my hands on a copy, because I love free stuff!
I am waiting for this to drop the price…i think this is another option….pick me
Sounds awesome. Thanks so much for all of these giveaways.
Got my Google Voice invite in the email last night so I’m all set. My problem with Textnow is that is uses a different # for every sent text. So the iPhone, for example, doesn’t keep the coveraation threaded. It seems this would get around that as well as providing push notification for incoming texts. Super excited about all this and trying not to explode.
May I get one please?
This sounds like a good deal.
I would love a promo code!!!!
Another cool use for my Google Voice account!
that really is a great find.
I would like to win this
Looks cool! I hope I win!
i’ve got it and it works better than any other solution with google voice for text messages.
This sounds great. Thank you AppAdvice!
Would love a promo code for TextNow. Would be willing to review it if u like.
I’d love to be able to use GV with something other than mail.app… Thanks! =)
I’ve got Google Voice already and the desire to win. I hope I do!
That’s awesome. I have google voice, but I didn’t know about this. Pick me!!
Sent from my (jailbroken) iPhone

Hope I win!

This txt app seems to be the one missing app to me. I’m in for a promo code.
Cool. Does the promo code last forever, since it’s an additional $7.99 in-app purchase for a lifetime subscription? Love the Google voice integration!
Thanks for the chance.
It look like a cool app
I love this app.
It’s snowing like a MF in Maryland.
Oh I would like one I’ve been so interested in this app from the beginning! This would also be a awesome Xmas present! Good luck to all!
please give me a promo code so I can text my family in the states. thank you.
I’d love to try this out! Great site!!!
Textfree is gettin annoying so I’d love to try out this app. And a promo is great too!!
I have been trying to find an app to replace TextFree as the push notifications seem to no longer be working.
After research it seems TextNow is the way to go.
Hopefully I can get one of the promos to make up for the money lost on Textfree!
looks great! i hope i win a code
I have been trying TextNow and the Google Voice integration is great!
The Google Voice integration is sweet!
I love the cool graphical bubbles.
It is really cool that you can send texts for free.
Great idea. Awesome contest
Cant hurt to have a copy…
