Hey everyone!
Here is the deal. I just received a nexus 7 with mobile connection. Instead of getting a new card for it I chose to take the Sim card out of a phone that I wasn't using anymore and installed it into the nexus7. Reason being I still have almost a year left on the contract for the phone so it was cheaper just to add the data plan to it rather than cancel the phone and get a whole other card.
That being said, my nexus7 now has a card in it with a phone number attached. Is there any way to text from that number with my tablet? I can't seem to find an app for that. Or even an app to Bluetooth my tablet to my other phone.... I found one to do that, but it says the phone has to be an android. My other phone is a windows phone....
Any help is much appreciated!

Just use Google Voice to send text messages from the tablet.
