TeleSMS - SMS App to Telegram

TeleSMS is your everyday SMS app. It sends and receives texts, keeps your conversations tidy, and looks the way you want it to.

It also does something most SMS apps do not: it forwards every text you receive straight to your own Telegram bot, automatically, the second it arrives.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHY FORWARD SMS TO TELEGRAM?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Your phone is in your bag. You are at your laptop with Telegram already open. The verification code you need is sitting on a screen in the other room.

TeleSMS fixes that. Your texts arrive in Telegram, on whatever device you happen to be using.

• Completely automatic. Set it up once and forget it. No tapping, no copying, no opening the app.

• Keeps working when the app is closed. Forwarding runs at the system level, so it works with TeleSMS shut and your phone locked.

• Nothing gets lost. If you are offline or the signal drops, messages wait in a queue and retry until they arrive.

• MMS alerts. When a picture message arrives, TeleSMS tells you in Telegram straight away so you know to check your phone. The image itself never leaves your device.

• Every message is labelled with your phone's name, so you always know which device it came from. Useful if you carry a work phone or a travel SIM.

• Forwarding is optional. Never set it up and TeleSMS is simply a good SMS app.

YOUR BOT, YOUR MESSAGES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Forwarding uses a Telegram bot that you create and control, with a token only you hold.

Your messages go from your phone directly to your own chat. They never pass through our servers. We cannot read them, store them or see who is texting you.

Setup takes about a minute:
1. Set TeleSMS as your default SMS app
2. Create a free bot by messaging @BotFather in Telegram
3. Paste the bot token and your chat ID into Settings
4. Send the built-in test message to confirm it works

AND A GENUINELY GOOD SMS APP
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• Send SMS and MMS — photos and attachments, emoji, several recipients at once, with a live character counter.

• Broken messages repaired — long texts often arrive chopped into confusing fragments, out of order and hard to read. TeleSMS stitches them back together so you see one clean message the way it was written.

• Instant search — look up a contact name, a number or any words inside a message, and see every match highlighted as you type. Works on your inbox and your sent messages.

• Filtered Numbers — tired of a marketing shortcode or one particular number? Filter it straight from the conversation. Their texts stop appearing in your inbox, stop making a sound, and stop being forwarded to Telegram. Nothing is deleted: filtered messages are still stored quietly, and one tap unfilters a number if you change your mind.

• Four themes — Light and Dark for the classics, Colorful if you like a vibrant inbox, and Minimalist when you want no distractions at all.

• Your own notification sound — pick any MP3 on your device and set the vibration length you prefer.

• Backup and restore — export your entire message history to a single file, keep it somewhere safe, and restore it after a factory reset or when moving to a new phone.

• Contact tools — save a number, add it to an existing contact, or copy details straight from a conversation.

• 67 languages — including Spanish, Hindi, Arabic and more.

• Quick and light — opens instantly, scrolls smoothly, stays out of your way.
