I use this plug-in with Tasker to track my billable time by SMS messages using Google Voice. When I start working, I click the "Punch In" Tasker task which generates an SMS message through Google Voice (prompting for client name and notes along the way). When I'm done, I "Punch Out" using Tasker. This plug-in allows me to use the Google Voice SMS feature rather than my Android phone's built-in Texting app. This means I don't use any of my texting allowment from Verizon, and the associated Google account keeps has a record of my clocking in and out for generating billing and future reference. The developer is responsive and fair and reasonable. That's not always the case, in my experience. Toby @ Steelgirder is a great developer making great products that I'm happy to support.

Thank you for your email regarding the name change. Also, thank you for your work on this app. I use it and appreciate it. It works well and I have never had any trouble with it. I have purchased the app under its new name and don't require a refund. My wife has this on her phone as well and we use it with tasker to let each other know where we are and when we are on our way home, usually. There are also many other uses for this when you want to automate sending a sms through google voice. Thanks again.

I've ditched my texting plan for Google Voice and needed a way to retrain folks still texting the old number. This plugin works perfectly with Tasker for replying to texts from the new (GV) number. It supports tasker variables, and works perfectly google application specific passwords. Thanks!
