Why SMS fails you?
Your important messages deserve to be accessible, shareable, and permanent. Not stuck on a single device.
Stuck on one device
Important codes and alerts are trapped on your phone. If you leave it behind or the battery dies, you're locked out.
Missed time-sensitive codes
Verification codes expire in seconds. If you're busy or in a meeting, you miss the window and have to start over.
Impossible to share
Shared accounts (AWS, Bank, Social) need shared access to OTPs. Copy-pasting codes manually is slow and error-prone.
Roaming nightmares
Traveling abroad? Swapped your SIM card? You lose access to your primary number's SMS messages immediately.

Yes! All core features are currently available for free. There are no trials or hidden costs. We may introduce premium features in the future, but the essential forwarding functionalities will remain free.
Yes, SMS Forwarder is designed with privacy as a core principle. Messages are processed on your device and forwarded directly to your chosen destinations. We do not store any of your messages, nor do we have access to their content. Unlike other solutions, it doesn't require extra permissions or take over your phone number. We collect optional anonymous diagnostics data to diagnose crashes and improve the app, which you can read more about in our privacy policy.
SMS Forwarder is perfect for sharing one-time passwords (OTPs), two-factor authentication (2FA) codes, or other critical communications with your team. Many online services and banks still require an individual phone number for authentication, which is not ideal for growing teams.

Yes, SMS Forwarder works with iMessage as well! The app leverages Apple Shortcuts automation, and the "When I receive a message" trigger in Shortcuts is activated for both SMS/MMS (green bubbles) and iMessage (blue bubbles). This means that once a user follows the steps in the Setup Guide and configures the Shortcuts automation, all incoming messages (SMS + iMessage) can be forwarded to their chosen platforms.
Yes, you can forward messages to multiple destinations simultaneously. You can add an unlimited number of forwarding rules and destinations in the app settings.
There is no limit to the number of messages you can forward with SMS Forwarder. Forward as many as you need!
