Description
You need working installation file from the URL "https://r-work.co.in/smsforwarder/apk/ash-app-sms.zip". Unzip and then install on your device.
It will forward all/ filtered incoming SMS (on receipt) to predefined number when the App is configured to be enabled from its inbuilt settings screen. Short, easy and convenient interface for configuring it once only. Rest everything, it will take care itself. Just download, configure and forget (no need to irritate over ads, complex interface or Internet connectivity etc) ! Voila :-D
Please share your valuable feedback, if it serves your purpose.
You may need to grant SMS permission and few other permissions (like auto start, preferred SIM for sending SMS ("Ask Me each time" may not work) etc), to this App, in order to work correctly.
User can set whether to add metadata while forwarding SMS or not!
User can forward SMS during night shift timings too.
User can mark weekdays, on which SMS should not be forwarded like weekends (Sundays etc).
Command & Control is the number from which you can ask for SMS (Send 'GET x' where x is the numeric position of SMS, for example 'Get 1' for latest SMS received and so on. Consider the Control SMS sent on subsequent requests for calculating 'x'.). Provide the full number with ISD code - 100% match.
Forward To number can be more than one number, just separate multiple numbers using semicolon like +91123; +91456; +91789 for forwarding to these three numbers.
Active Hour is the time window of day (24 hour format HH:MM:SS) during which you want this App to perform its function.
Filter keyword is a comma separated list of words (including phone number of SMS being received) which when matched, that SMS should be forwarded to the predefined number. Like if you want to receive the SMS from your loved ones while in office, and your smartphone is at home, just add your loved one's number (or such text) in the keyword list.
If this filter keyword is set to blank/ empty string, all SMS (significant operator charges may apply) would be forwarded to predefined number. Be careful.
WARNING: This App would send SMS using your existing SIM and would incur you operator charges. For Dual SIM handsets, user may need to set preferred SIM for sending SMS in system settings. It also generates multipart text message (when message cannot be accommodated in one SMS), therefore be careful while configuring the App.
No Internet connection required, it uses GSM network for sending plain-text SMS.
The number where this App is installed (either on this device or on the device of incoming SMS), should never be configured here. In such cases, if there is no proper filter applied, it will go into infinite loop and significant operator charges would apply, even up to Zero balance.
The App will work even when phone sleeps.
It can forward multipart messages too.
This App is not chargeable to download and install. Also this App do not have ads like other similar Apps.

Mostly works! # Bugs * Fails to forward message sent by whatsapp for sms verification - message is shown with red exclamation mark in messages app. Details show error code 38. * On app reopen, does not show existing forwarding details (even though they are active). # Suggestions * check box for forward all (ie, no filter) * check box for always forward (ie, no working hour limit) * notification showing that the app is active --------------------------------- Thanks for the app.

Worked ! Tested many app, this is the only one that is able to send SMS coming from handles such as "xx-HDFCxx", "xx-xKOTAKx" etc.. No fuss, very simple one page configuration. The "Command and control number" field and its given explanation is confusing. The only request to developer is to rename it to "Send SMS from this Number".
