Send SMS straight from the phone?

[JeyC]

Hi!
I use the first Flic button since few years, to send 3 differents SMS with my spare phone.
Before, it was possible to send SMS straight from the phone. But since few years, we have to use the Flic SMS system, it needs an active Internet connection (WiFi / 4G).
This is really bad for me, because I don't wan't to enable WiFi / Data, it uses a lot of battery (I never use WiFi / Data on this spare phone).

So, please, is there any solution to send SMS straight from the phone? (selecting TEXTRA for example, like it was possible to do in the past).

Thanks.

@jeyc Google Play store changed their policies and no longer allows us to send sms messages directly. We tried to get an exception but they rejected our request.

You can build your own Android app though from Android Studio and install it directly on your phone. This can for example listen to an Intent and at that time send an sms. Then use the Send Intent action in our app to call your app to send the sms.
