The mystery to me is that no matter how many substitute-for-SMS & SMS-like apps have appeared for Android - there is almost nothing which enables the independent use of SMS via Desktop PC.
(I have detailed some of what little for this I've been able to find in prior replies here...)
Found GVNotifier.
Can you please try it out and let us know?
Cheers.

Never mind. From other posts, it is abundantly clear that you are averse to Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5SP1 as well.
May want to read why you might need it. To each, their own.
.NET is a great thing for a programmer. Unless you need to feel the chill of bare metal, there is no sense programming on it. A managed environment is the best environment to program in. There is no sense in writing KLOCs of libraries for your application when those libraries already exist. When .NET gets a fix, your app gets a fix. Your app will be compatible as long as you continue to follow best practices. The same cannot be said for a native application.

See this link for free SMS over WiFi in Hangouts with Andriod, "CoolPad" + iOS & WP

Ihm,
Thank you for the link.
I previously couldn't get SMS to work with Hangouts.
I just had to check Messages under Settings and now SMS is working.
LTN1:
Are you using Hangouts in a cell phone for SMS? If so, doesn't that use your cell minutes--or has that changed? (I know using hangouts and the hangouts dialer on my android phone is free but I thought SMS via an android device uses the cell phone minutes.)

I'm using Hangouts for SMS via WiFi on my $10 Android that doesn't have a cell plan, so It can't be using minutes.
See: http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=9351.0
I also read that Hangouts SMS uses minutes and assumed that is why it wasn't working, but I saw Ihm's post and thought I'd try it again.
I don't know if you will be charged minutes when you have a cell plan.
