How to set up a Basic Rule
Forward SMS is a versatile Android app that seamlessly forwards text to emails, phone numbers, URLs/APIs, or Telegram. It also forwards phone alerts like missed calls, outgoing calls, shutdown/turn-on events, and low battery alerts. Additionally, it offers auto and remote replies for efficient message management.
Choose Basic Rule
From the available options, select Basic Rule to set up a straightforward rule for SMS forwarding.
Or choose another receiver
Besides a phone number, you can also forward SMS messages to an email address, a Telegram account or a URL endpoint.
Set the optional items
These options can be configured as needed, but they are not required to set up a rule:
- Forward RCS: enable RCS forwarding if you want to include Rich Communication Services (RCS) messages.
- Filter Sender: leave the Sender field blank to forward all SMS messages. Alternatively, enter a specific phone number or contact name that the sender should either match or not match for forwarding.
- Rule Name: change the name to anything you like.
Save the rule
Once you have configured the rule, tap the Save button to save the basic rule settings.
Test the rule
After saving the rule, it's recommended to test it by selecting the Test option. This lets you verify that the rule is set up correctly and forwards SMS messages according to your criteria.
By following these steps, you can create and customize a basic rule in the Forward SMS app to forward SMS automatically, based on your specific requirements.
