What SMS Forwarder does
- Forwards incoming SMS to email, Telegram, a webhook or another Android phone
- Rules you create: by sender, by words in the message, or everything
- Nothing is forwarded until you turn on a rule
- Searchable history and automatic retry, kept on your phone
- Scam warnings before you forward bank or OTP messages

Who it's for
- Two-phone users - get bank and delivery SMS from your work phone on your personal phone.
- Second SIM at home - leave a spare phone at home and still see its messages wherever you are.

- Travelling abroad - forward SMS from your home SIM to the phone you carry.
How to install
- 1. Open this page on the phone that receives the SMS and tap Download APK.

- 3. Open the downloaded file and tap Install.
- 4. Open SMS Forwarder and allow SMS and notification access.

- Download SMS Forwarder only from trei.dev, never from a link someone sends you.
Common questions
Why is this a direct download?
This download can also forward a message to another phone number as a normal SMS, which Google Play does not allow. Until the Google Play version is released, install it from trei.dev.
Is the APK safe to install?
Download it only from trei.dev. The app is signed by Trei and registered with Google's Android developer verification, so Android can confirm who made it.
Does SMS Forwarder upload my messages anywhere?
Only where you tell it to. Webhook, your own Telegram bot and your own email server are contacted straight from your phone. Trei email and Telegram relay and paired phones pass through api.trei.dev only to be delivered, and message text is not stored. Rules and history stay on your phone.
Will it cost money?
The app is free with one rule and a daily limit on messages relayed through Trei servers. Premium adds unlimited rules and more. Forwarding to a phone number as SMS uses your carrier's normal SMS charges.
How do I install an APK?
