SMS to email forwarding

evalda

Can someone recommended an app that automatically forwards all incoming SMS to an email address? Two way (ability to reply to SMS via email) would be even better! Thanks

The way I'm thinking it can be done is janky. Tasker triggers on notification of SMS and if meets criteria sends HTTPS to an email gateway API.

Graphite Thanks, this sounds like a solution! Although I was curious if there is a pre-made app that gets SMS permission and does the thing for you... Anything?

evalda are you planning to access forwarded sms on another device? Do not forget that to be able to receive the sms your sim card needs to be active or sms will be undeliverable. So if you're hoping to forward sms to email without a sim card (indirectly), that is not going to work.

[deleted] Thanks, yeah I understand I need a SIM card to receive SMS. The idea is to receive SMS on a phone with a SIM card and be able to read them (and ideally reply) on a separate remote device.

iOS devices can sync text messages when logged with the same Apple ID... I am not sure if that only works when they are nearby. I am looking for a solution to leave one phone at home and be able to read SMS messages sent to that phone when traveling

Not via email, but for doing it via xmpp there is http://projectmaxs.org/homepage/

https://conversations.im is a great xmpp client

You could alternatively possibly port the phone number to https://jmp.chat (they document solutions for other countries in their wiki) and be able to send and receive sms via xmpp without needing a phone to relay the messages onwards.
