iphone automatic sms forwarding

[jf]

Any suggestions on how to automatically forward sms messages (to another phone or email). I search and can't find a ios app. The best would be if Telus would offer sms forwarding as a feature like Rogers does.

Hi, my advice would be to search on Google to see if a text message application can do this for you, but text messages are not really made to be forward, from my point of view. I know you can do it with emails but I've never seen a mobile device doing it. But, it's not impossible if a specific application offer this feature.

Easy to do with IFTTT - add sms or android sms as a trigger, and gmail or email as the action and you can send an email to any address (including your own) with the contents of you SMS message. I use this feature to keep a log of my sms messages, just in case I lose my phone, without having to install any apps other than IFTTT.

Will this work if your phone is turned off?

IFTTT will need your phone on to forward messages.

Thanks for the information PhilP and jf, let us know if this application does the job for you!

I would take the SIM card out and put it into the other phone.

  If you have a Mac, simply leave Messages open on the computer, and your iPhone messages will be reproduced on the computer, and any particular conversation printed.
