@rythwiksharma You mean the SMS aren't forwarded? That isn't possible to forward SMS/MMs like calls. Or do you mean with calls forwarded you are no longer receiving SMS/MMS on that phone?

Hi @rythwiksharma ,

Do you have an iPhone?

@esjliv Correct me if I am wrong, but this requires that the phone be on, receive the text and then it forwards it. That isn't the same thing as call forwarding where your phone doesn't need to be on.

Hi @kb_mv ,

That may be the case. 🤔

If you are using Android phones, there are some 3rd-party apps to help you forwarding text. As mentioned above, iOS also allows you to forward SMS. However, both require your phone (the phone that has number to be forwarded) to be ON.
