2. SMS (Text Message) Forwarding

Note:

Unlike calls, SMS forwarding is not typically supported directly by carriers. Instead, you’ll need third-party apps or built-in features on smartphones.

On Android:

Via Apps (Requires Internet):

• Apps like “SMS Forwarder”, “Auto Forward SMS”, or “IFTTT”
• You set rules like:
  • Forward SMS from specific contacts
  • Forward all incoming SMS
• Messages can be forwarded to another phone number or email.

Permissions Needed:

• Access to SMS inbox
• Battery optimization disabled for continuous work
• May require phone to stay on and connected

On iPhone (iOS):

SMS Forwarding (Apple Ecosystem Only):

• Works between Apple devices (iPhone to iPad or Mac).
• Go to:
  • Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding
  • Turn on for devices you want to receive messages on.

You cannot forward SMS to non-Apple devices or numbers directly.

• Call Forwarding might incur charges depending on your carrier.
• SMS Forwarding via apps might not forward OTPs or secure messages (e.g., from banks).
• Use with caution if you’re forwarding to a third-party or untrusted device.
• Carrier Support for SMS forwarding is rare but may be possible in business/enterprise solutions.
