Use Android Tablet for SMS without Phone?

[richardirv]

Hi

Any Idea's appreciated, I have an Android phone (Sensation) and have recently purchased an Asus Transformer, my Sensation needs to go for repair as the power button has gone nuts & it keeps taking pictures of itself! lol

I could really do with not being without my phone while its getting repaired and wondered if there was any way of using the Transformer to send & receive my texts for a few weeks. I know this is easily achieved when you have the phone and tablet close to each other via Bluetooth but unsure if its possible to achieve when the phone is off.

I have seen SMS forward to e-mail on my phone but it also says I may get charged from my service provider.

Any Ideas?

Yeah i know, i could get a cheap phone or borrow a crappy one, just thought there might of been an alternative to see me a week or so.
