Suggestions for SMS forwarder

Oggyo

I need (for a certain time) to set forwarding of all my incoming text messages to another number.
Looking for a simple and secure app to do the job.

Did you use that before? I tried it a couple of days ago but can't manage to change the "from" SMS scope to cover any number or use wildcards. It doesn't make sense to me as shown on the screenshot.

Oggyo I have no use for it, thats what comes up in a search. I expect that leaving the field blank is wildcard.

I also suggest that you should build the latest version from git rather than just install the really old code from fdroid.

No, it doesn't accept empty source/from. Not intuitive at all. Finally found out how to switch to "advanced input mode". Just need to tap on the .* and can add RegEx rule into the "from" field. Its GitLab Issue tracker is missing, the app seems to be abounded but still works.

Thanks for the suggestion. Works well, too. I may need it in the future.

I use this one for many years now: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.github.axet.smsgate/

My use case is different, though, but it may suit you: I redirect incoming SMS to my IMAP (e-mail) server. You can even reply to the e-mail and the response will be sent back via SMS.

I do it with Tasker, it's one of the simplest use-cases (however funny that might sound: Tasker has a very steep learning curve but I use it to automate a lot anyway, so it was easiest for me).

Here's not the easiest howto, but shows the general direction: https://www.mikecairns.us/2022/12/forward-sms-messages-with-tasker.html?q=tasker
