<b>Overview</b>

<p>VoIP.ms SMS is an Android messaging app for VoIP.ms that seeks to replicate the aesthetic of <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging">Google&#39;s official SMS app</a>.</p>

<b>Features</b>

• Material design

• Push notifications (if using the Google Play version of the app)

• Synchronization with device contacts

• Message search

• Comprehensive support for synchronization with VoIP.ms

• Completely free

</ul>

<b>Rationale</b>

<p>A number of people use VoIP.ms as a cheaper alternative to subscribing to a voice plan for their mobile devices.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, this can make sending text messages rather difficult, as the <a href="https://voip.ms/m/sms.php">VoIP.ms SMS Message Center</a> is clearly built as a diagnostic tool for use in desktop browsers, not as an easy way to send and receive messages on a mobile device.</p>

<p>VoIP.ms does provide a <a href="https://sms.voip.ms/">mobile version</a> of this interface with an improved UI, but it still lacks important features that are only possible with a dedicated app.</p>

<b>Installation</b>

<p>The standard version of the app uses closed-source Firebase libraries to support push notifications and facilitate crash reporting and analytics, among other purposes. A version of the application that is completely open source is available from F-Droid.</p>

<p>Both versions are available from the <a href="https://github.com/michaelkourlas/voipms-sms-client/releases">Releases section</a> of the GitHub repository.</p>

<b>Documentation</b>

<p>The app&#39;s documentation is available in the <a href="https://github.com/michaelkourlas/voipms-sms-client/blob/master/HELP.md">HELP.md file</a>.</p>
