Anyone know of a way to forward SMS messages to 2nd phone number, when main number is unavailable (weak cell, airplane mode, etc) ?
After many weeks of asking questions (here and Google) regarding voice calls over WiFi, considering software solutions and mixed (hardware / software) solutions, I finally had the sense to ask about voice call forwarding to second phone which has functional WiFi calling. Google said 'possible'. Carrier said 'we support that'. [just requires 2nd phone line, and phone, and remembering to keep it charged. tedious but workable].
I set it up & tested it. Seems to work !
So, now the last critical problem is no SMS over WiFi, when cell signal is too weak.
My requirement is communication with 'average' user, who has only OEM android or ios messaging installed on their phone. That rules out asking everyone I need to communicate with to add and learn new apps.
Asking google about that, answer was that any SMS forwarding solution would be linked to WiFi calling.
Can anyone shed light on options here ? or UT plans or progress (testing status, etc) ?
Standard SMS can’t be conditionally forwarded like calls when your phone is unreachable—carrier forwarding usually only works for voice, not texts.
Your best options are enabling Wi-Fi Calling + SMS over Wi-Fi (if your carrier/phone supports it), or using services like Google Voice or call/text forwarding apps that mirror SMS to another device.
Otherwise, your antenna solution (or adding a signal booster) is the most reliable workaround without changing how others contact you.
