I find myself in the unenviable position of carrying two phones and I need to have my main phone (iPhone 4) forward sms/text messages to my other phone (Samsung Infuse).
After tinkering with the various setting on the phone, and trying to Google it for the past couple of days I haven't been able to find ANYTHING!
If anyone knows of any apps, settings, tips, tricks, or work arounds I would really appreciate it!
Thanks,
GBA
SMS's can be forwarded (press the Edit button) but not automatically, unless your carrier can do it.
Generally you can only forward to someone else who uses the same carrier you use, if your carrier supports this feature.
Take a look at Google Voice. I use it so I don't have to carry 2 phones. One personal, one for work.
It gives you a new number that you can direct to ring multiple phones simultaneously if you like. It will also handle text messages and forward them for you.
Even if you're only going to carry one phone, this gives you a # you can have other people call without having to give them your personal #.
There are other neat tricks you can pull with this. For example, it can display your GV # in the caller ID for incoming calls instead of the actual callers #. If you have a plan that gives you unlimited calling to specific #s, that means all those calls can be free if you add it to your friends/family/Alist/whatever they call it now.
You can also set time restrictions so that it will only forward calls/messages during certain hours or to different phones at different times. When I'm working or on call, I get calls from the office. If I'm not, they won't ring through (they want me on call, they can pay me for it. lol)
I don't know if it will be helpful for you, but it might be. The service is free with cheap international calling rates.
Can I auto forward sms/text messages to another phone?
