# VoIP.ms SMS #

## Overview ##
VoIP.ms SMS is an Android messaging app for VoIP.ms that seeks to replicate the aesthetic of [Google's official SMS app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging).
[
](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.kourlas.voipms_sms)
[](https://f-droid.org/packages/net.kourlas.voipms_sms)
## Features ##
* 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## Rationale ##
A number of people use VoIP.ms as a cheaper alternative to subscribing to a voice plan for their mobile devices.
Unfortunately, this can make sending text messages rather difficult, as the [VoIP.ms SMS Message Center](https://voip.ms/m/sms.php) 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.
VoIP.ms does provide a [mobile version](https://sms.voip.ms/) of this interface with an improved UI, but it still lacks important features that are only possible with a dedicated app.
## Installation ##
The Google Play version of the app uses closed-source Firebase libraries to
support push notifications. The F-Droid version of the application is completely
open source.The Google Play version of the app can be downloaded from the [Releases section](https://github.com/michaelkourlas/voipms-sms-client/releases) of the GitHub repository.
## Documentation ##
The app's documentation is available in the [HELP.md file](https://github.com/michaelkourlas/voipms-sms-client/blob/master/HELP.md).
