Description
FREEforward The ultimate SMS & call notification forwarder!
Do you find yourself juggling with multiple Android devices? Have you ever missed an important call notification or text message, because it had been sent to a device you didn’t carry around with you all the time? Are you tired of constantly checking both your private & work phone for messages and calls?
Then FREEforward is the perfect solution for you!
Simply hook up two Android devices (the app needs to be installed on both of them) of your choice and FREEforward will start sending you notifications of missed calls and actual text messages from one device to the other. (SMS text messages are forwarded via data connection and therefore do *not* use your SMS account.)
PLUS: You’ll even be able to reply to text messages with your distant phone via remote access.*
PLUS: If your forwarding phone runs under Android 4.3+ FREEforward will be able to forward you your first new WhatsApp message (This needs special permissions and is disabled by default).
Your advantages at a glance: • Hook up two devices: i.e. work phone & private phone or smartphone & tablet • Forward your SMS text messages, call notifications and your first new WhatsApp message to your 2nd device for free (via data connection) • Reply to text messages with distant phone via remote control* • Your transmitted personal data (messages, phone numbers) is encrypted via End-To-End encryption
* Note: in order to send SMS with a remote device, you’ll need to grant FREEforward permission to send SMS. It’ll only use this permission upon your explicit action. FREEforward will never send any SMS without your notice. For sending SMS, standard charges of your contract apply.

Comments on FREEforward: SMS forwarding for Android
★★★★★
Works great no problems perfect solution for having 2 phones with different numbers without having to carry both.
★★★★★
This app has been very helpful while I have been using a temporary phone. I have not not missed texts from my old Phone. I even still received them while on a trip to India. I don't think Photos will forward... Don't group texts do either. A Few messages dinot. Forward, but most did! Still a great app!
★★★★★
Can't believe this app is free! I only needed it for a while, but it does what it says, brilliantly! I never saw an ad at all. Excellent AAAAA++
★★★★★
Nice app to use for connecting multiple phones. Just wish you could call through app as well as send messages. But still enjoy using it.
★★☆☆☆
I have tried to use this app twice. The setup is simple and both phones show they are connected to each other but it does not forward any text messages.
★★☆☆☆
The text forwarding only works in close proximity to each other. The 2 phones have to be within 2 feet of each other. If they are more than that, it doesn't forward anything
★★☆☆☆
I tried the premium upgrade but I want to cancel it immediately. But Google store replied that I did not made a payment. so my refund was zero. I have no way of cancelling it in the app even if it was an in app purchase
