About SMS Forwarder
🚨 CAUTION! 🚨
If someone else asked you to install this app, do not install it. It may be a financial scam such as phishing or smishing. Forwarding your messages to an unknown recipient can expose your personal information.
How to use
Install the app and create a forwarding rule (filter). You can add multiple filters for different purposes.
Enter the recipients (phone number, email, webhook URL, Telegram, or push service ID).
Set conditions to include or exclude messages by keyword (in the sender's number or the message content).
Customize the template of the forwarded message any way you like.
Key Features
Multiple destinations: Forward SMS or notifications to email, phone numbers, URLs, Telegram, and the push service.
App notifications too: Forward not only SMS but also notifications from apps such as messengers or your banking app.
Powerful filtering: Detailed filter options based on the sender's number and the message content.
Flexible email support: Full support for Gmail and custom SMTP servers.
Dual SIM support: Works with dual SIM devices.
Working hours: Set the app to run only when you want, such as during business hours.
Backup and restore: Easily back up and restore your filters.
Device-to-device sync: Use the push service to exchange messages between devices that have the app installed.
Use cases
Sharing financial alerts: Automatically share card payment and bank transaction texts with your family.
Managing a second phone: Receive all your messages on your main phone or PC without carrying your work phone around.
Traveling abroad: Leave the phone with your home SIM at home and still receive its texts by email or Telegram wherever you are.
Team notices: Automatically pass important texts on to your team members.
Note: This app cannot retrieve messages from devices where the app is not installed. It only forwards messages received on the device running the app.
Required permissions
We only request the permissions that are essential to the app's core features.
RECEIVE_SMS, RECEIVE_MMS, READ_SMS, SEND_SMS
Required to read incoming SMS/MMS and forward them to other devices in the background.

Privacy & Security
This app uses SMS permissions strictly for its core feature: automatic message forwarding.
We do not store your personal information, such as SMS messages or contacts, on external servers. All processing happens securely on your device.
