Hi all,
I have aquestion and couldn't find any reply on this forum: Does anyone know how to configure a transfer of all my incoming SMS/MMS to another number?
FYI: I got a new phone from my job and don't need to carry my Defy+ around with me all the time anymore. I set up a call transfer to receive incoming calls on the new phone but it doesn't work for messages.
What I'm looking to do is basically the same thing as setting up a rule on your e-mail to transfer everything to a second address. If I'm not clear please let me know and I'll explain.
thanks !
Anyone?

Try any sms forwarding app in play store. for eg. SMS FORWARDER (sorry, n00bs can't post links)
but every fwd msg will cost you...
you could also provide your contacts with the new number
Try SMS backup +. Can't restore MMS, but can transfer sms to other phone.

I need a program so send SMS through my Rhodium with my laptop. I've googled the **** out of it, but I can't find anything that works with WinMo. its all Symbian :/
Anybody know of anything?
Thankss!!!!
my mobiler allows you to view and control the phone on your laptop screen with the keyboard and mouse....???
anything simpler, and maybe free?
you can send text messages through www.t-mobile.com but youll only be able to recieve through your phone. other option is google voice. you can see all your sent and received plus you can spam certain numbers + a whole lot more only thing is that you have to get a new phone number but that can be linked to your cell phone.
other option is totally seperate from your phone. gmail allows you to send and receive text messages through their chat box. you just have to turn on the options through the setting.
last option that i know of is aim.... just add the phone number as a buddy and you can send and receive text messages.

I have a question maybe someone here knows a solution.
I got the idea when I made the following note. I have a old simcard whit sms and phone numbers but unfortunately I can not figure what the pincode was now I know that there is a sim reader but it makes no sense without the pin code.
Well I thought it is not possible at such a cab to make that a txt file where all incoming and outgoing SMS messages are copied and stored so you can always look back and also your phone numbers are copied.
This invention would be for all people who want to preserve their SMS. having regard to any programs I can write and I thought let me make it here that someone might ask whether this is a good idea to findit would be nice that someone here to find a solution
I like to see your reactions respond
sorry for my bad english
no one ??
I can give a donation for those who can make this
What is the point of this when there are many programs out there already to do this.
PIMBAckup by Dotfred is probably the best known, but we now also have Microsoft MyPhone that can do the same thing

M8, you can just use MyPhone: this will back-up all you SMS messages on-the-air, so every time you are buying a new phone, you just log in to your MyPhone accout and will automatically get all your SMS messages downloaded. Just like that!
It's times better than using any other solution!
Of course, you can view or delete the messages online, by using any browser and logging in to your account!
Hope it helps!

MyPhone comes installed on HD2 devices, or (if not) you can get it from the MarketPlace. If that doesn't work, use google to find an installer. It's a Microsoft app and you can set it to automatically backup all sorts of info from your device. There's a web interface where you can edit or archive things too. It's one of the first things I set up on a new phone.
I just got my A500 yesterday and spent all night and day trying to figure out if it was possible to make phone calls, receive phone calls, send and receive text messages. Finally found the solution and it works great. Its a given that you will need to be on Wifi or 3G (tethering or Portable WLAN). Using a FREE app called Viber allows you to make FREE calls and text messages over Wifi and 3G/4G to other Viber users (Android and iOS), what sets this app apart from others is that it maintains your phone #, no need for a new #, pin or username. Only problem is that upon setup the app requires to send you a text message to verify your phone number to setup your account, which is NOT possible on the Acer. I found a simple work around this to problem, so here we go!
What you need:
1. Rooted phone (Android of course)
2. Viber App, its FREE (attached) (Phone ONLY)
3. Rooted Acer
4. Titanium Backup (Installed on both devices)
Instructions:
1. Install Viber on your phone and set up your account, very simple and fast.
2. After installation and confirmation (important: I would make a call or send a few text messages to make sure it's working),
3. Open Titanium Backup and make a back up of Viber
4. Transfer the back up of Titanium Backup to your Acer, make sue you place it the correct folder: sdcard/TitaniumBackup (or where ever you store your Titaniun Backups on your Acer).
5. Open Titanium Backup on your Acer and Restore the Viber app with data
That's it you can now make calls and text messages using Viber, the voice quality is awesome and the speaker is loud and clear!
Hopes this helps, it did for me
You can send invites to your contacts within the Viber app, once someone installs and setups Viber you will receive a pop up notice.
***Do NOT run Viber on both devices at the same time, it may cause FC and routing calls/text messages to the wrong device, simply shut down Viber (More>>Exit) on the device you are not using***
how can you do it?

Decent find on making an app work. Question, what's wrong with Skype or gtalk?
I still want an app that enables an android phone tether with the acer iconia via bluetooth,usb or wifi and you are able to text and call people on your tablet.

As for me... I have 16 family/friends on gtalk (only 4 sign on & more than half the time they never notice I sent them a message, "I didnt know") or they are NEVER signed on, either they dont know how to sign on or dont use it at all. Skype, I have 0 family/friends that use it and I not to crazy about it... I just like the simplicity of Viber and ease of use, when you get a text message a pop up appears (like HancentSMS) and you can reply right from there.
I guess what it comes down to is personal preference
would this conflict with google voice?

No not at all, thats the beauty of this app, it does NOT use your google voice number. It uses your actual cell number
I've been using Viber on my phone along with google voice and when people call or text me using Viber it does not effect google voice at all.
Awesome! Works great only downside I found is it will auto rout to the tab unless you turn it off when trying to call to the phone!
But that is minor compared to the awesomeness of the text and calling.! I love how I do not have to leave the app im in to reply.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this tip. I just got it on my tab and placed a call and its great. The odd force close, but otherwise great

Yeah, you really shouldnt have both Viber services running on both devices... Turn one off when using another (guess I should add that to the OP)
The pop up is awesome, dont need to leave your current app to reply

The FC happens here and there, mostly when running Viber on both devices, close one before starting the other and you should be good to go!

Okay just so I'm clear on how viber works... The person i'm sending the text/call to must also have viber installed correct?

+1. If I can't get my friends and family to use Skype etc they're not going to use this.

Yes that is correct... The FREE app can be found in the Market (Android) and in the App Store (Apple iOS)

The difference is that this app runs in the background, your friends and family DONT need to log in, when you call from Viber the phone rings right away, just like your stock phone app does (its just purple). When you text someone a pop up appears on the screen... see attachements
(Yes I have a friend that's a d!ck head and a brother I call Monster)
perhaps a silly question, but it wasnt specified... does the phone need to be pluggd into the tab for this to work? r once its set up it will function as long as there is wifi?

No it does not ... You can leave the phone at home, car or wherever. As long as you have some sort of data connection, whether it be wifi or tethered 3g/4g
Hi,
I have recently been given a work phone and don't want to carry two phones.
I would like to keep my personal number so will continue that contract. I will set my carrier setting to auto forward calls to my work phone, but I would like a way to auto-forward SMS (text) messages to my work number, or email.
I have a nexus 7 3g and this seems like a good device to use as I can then still make use of my personal phone contract's internet access.
I installed the mms.apk app (thread found else where in this forum) and can now send and receive texts from my Nexus 7. But as it is not with me every day I want an automated way to get SMS messages to another number of email.
Does anyone know of an app which will let me auto forward SMS messages to a different number or to email? I'm happy to pay for the outbound message cost, but the only app I have found which *claims* compatibility is phoneleash and it does not forward anything.
Does anyone have a suggestion for how I can accomplish this?
Thanks
T.
You could just use an app that sends texts to the tablet like Cloud SMS. Then you could turn off the notifications on the phone.

Thanks for the reply, but I think I have not been clear with my request.
I have a personal contract which my friends know the number for.
I want to keep this SIM in my tablet but forward any SMS message sent to my personal number to a work phone, so that I can just carry the work phone.
I have found Auto SMS since my last update, but this is not compatible with the nexus 7. I will see if there is a way to get this app to work.
I will update if I get any further.
T.
have you try mighty text? try that one first
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for the further replies here.
I don't think mighty text will work, it seems to be a way to read and reply to texts received on your phone, but handled by a tablet or computer as the viewing device.
I need a way to auto forward SMS messages to a different number.
Regards
Tony.
Progress
OK, I installed auto SMS onto my touchpad and then used titanium backup to extract the application.
I've side loaded this onto my nexus 7 and so far my tests have been successful.
The auto forwarded text messages come through as
<0123 123123> Mr FirstName SecondName: Content of message
I can either call the originator back, or switch to a new message and reply back directly via SMS from the work phone.
Thanks
T.

I have the same problem as you, but I can't find auto SMS or extract the application (Nexus 7 is my only Android device).
Can you please share it somehow?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: in meanwhile I found and installed it, works well

Why you need a app like that? You can send a message to your own number. You will directly receive it. If you still want one contact me I am a developer
