Did you install the Chrome (I assume Firefox will do the same) extension/app? I think that is why pops up the actual notification once the extension and the app on your phone are in sync.

Kane is correct. Install the app on your phone and then you can use of the mentioned methods to text

this was really easy to setup and like Tim said is very smooth. I might actually start using this at work

You install the app on your phone. Then go to the web page on your tablet.

Thanks Jason.
On my TPrime tablet, playstore says my device is not compatible?
Any guesses? Is it because of ICS?

I love the fact that I can see incoming calls on the computer screen when I’m at my desk. I always used to miss calls, but the tiny pop up is a huge help. Also handy for text messages, but the phone call notification feature is killer for me.

Kik is amazing and has clients for Android and iPhone (not sure about Windows Phone). Real time “typing…” notifications and you can see if they’ve opened the message you sent.

Exactly my point. Not everyone who texts with me is in my Google contacts. I’d like the ability to edit the names of those who aren’t.

I get mine instantly as well. In fact, I’ve been getting the notification on my computer a split second before the notification sound rings on my phone.

It is available for Foxfire. Just click the link to the MightyText site and the instructions are there. I’m not sure why Tim neglected to include it in the summary.

I have been using this for a while and if you want to text on your computer while your phone is charging or something, there really isn’t any other app out there that is this good. I’m glad to see its getting some love from Droid Life.
