Note - This MightyText Chrome Extension will work only AFTER completing the steps above.

Garbage.

I have been using Mighty Text for a long time with very little problem, but here lately it has had all sorts of glitches, and today I find out that Google is going to drop it from extensions. NOT GOOD! I'm very disappointed because we pay for the PRO version and have had great success using for our Foundation Repair business. As customer service rep, I use this app constantly all day keeping in touch with our technicians. BUMMER! Any other time I would have given this app a 4 start rating. Not 5 because of the occasional glitch but always have been able to get it worked out.

"Error: Android Phone not registered with MightyText with this Google Account, or MightyText Android App not installed properly on your phone." Not only is this word-salad the only help I can get on this site but it is no help. And I will see your PD with PD of my own [diagnosed in 2003] and I will raise you one tumor on my tongue, and now it won't let me transmit this review
