Worked perfectly when I initially installed it. I wrote the code on the web service based on this app and the way it sends data. The App is now stuck "Pending" for all text messages. So far I tried: 1. Restart 2. Uninstall, reinstall, restart without any success. The app's simple, functional design is EXACTLY what I need and really great. Hopefully a fix is possible.

Great little app. Reports incorrect from-number in test message. Note that the phone number in Settings is a to-number!

There's no way to customize HTTP POST body contents (to include both a static part such as an API token and the actual SMS text specified with some kind of a placeholder). The author does not understand the difference between the request body and query parameters.

Is it possible to disable the notification sent to the main number? I mean, whenever there is a forwarded message, the 2nd number will resend it back to the main number as if it notifies that the message has been forwarded successfully..if anyone can understand what i mean, i hope you could help me remove this function..lol..thnx

Great app just started using it on both my wife's and my own phone. Very useful when traveling overseas where you can reply using webtexts. Will report more when I use it for a while. Thank you for the app. BTW working perfectly on Android 8.0 Oreo.

About this app

This is a very light weight android app and is only designed to forward your SMS to a given phone number. Very simple and very straight forward app.

This app is designed for those busy persons, who have a backup phone number that you don't always carry with yourself, but you want to receive SMS delivered to the backup number.

Features:

- Receive SMS
- Forward to a given number
- Options to specify forwarding number.
- Forward to a given URL.
- Options to specify post URL.
- Forward to a given email address
- No ads or annoyance, just setup and forget

Very handy for those who are looking for just this simple functionality.


NB: This app doesn't store any SMS data outside of your phone. It only send SMS data to the given post URL which is turned off by default. Only in case of email based forwarding which is also turned off by default, we send email from our own server. But even in the later case, we don't store any data / content at our server as well. So, your SMS content privacy is our main priority.


FAQs:

1. I have installed the app, do I need any additional setup?

Ans: Yes, please setup forwarding number / forwarding email / Post URL from the app settings section, so that the application can actually forward your SMS.

2. Do you save my SMS content on your server?

Ans: We don't save any SMS content in any format at any of our server.

3. Can I add filters so that I can black list or white list specific phone numbers?

Ans: Currently, you can't filter phone numbers, but we have a plan to add white listing and black listing in the future.

4. What is Post URL?

Ans: Post URL is a web hook that you can provide to receive each SMS content at your server. App will forward each SMS to the specified URL directly from the Android phone.

5. What data will I receive for Post URL?

Ans: You will receive SMS content as POST body containing text, sender number and time at which it was received on the phone. In php, you can dump $_POST variable to see the exact data format.

6. How do I ensure that Post URL data is sent from my installed app and ensure data security?

Ans: To ensure complete data security, please use HTTPS and add secrete key in Post URL as query parameter so that you can verify the key identity from your server end.

Example: https://yourserver.com/post_callback.php?key=ANsknSdk83skdlI1874

7. Can I change the POST data format?

Ans: No, you can not change the POST data format. We don't believe it is necessary to change post data format.

8. What should the Post URL return in case of success or failure?

Ans: Post URL should return HTTP status code 200 in case of success and 400 or 500 in case of error.
