Hi everyone. 

       I need to travel to China in about two weeks and last time I was there PM has no cellphone signal for all time. 

      I am hoping to set up an SMS automatical forward like I used to do when I was with Rogers to my wife's phone number (she is with Telus so there will be service). Does any body know how to set it up? I tried but could not find in the account page

 

Thanks and best

@Lewis I suggest trying android messages.  They have a feature called Messeges for web which allows you to access your SMS and MMS via the web. It's their attempt at trying to compete with Apple messenger. https://messages.android.com should help if your not sure what to do.

@Lewis, I unmarked your post as the solution as it wasn't the answer to your problem and it is bad etiquette and fowned upon to mark your own post as an answer to your own question.  If you find that the post @will13am, or @mimmo  I would suggest coming back and giving them the credit for helping you.

@Lewis are you is ng an android or iPhone ?

 

If android there are sms forwarding apps, not sure about apple.

 

But your sim needs to be active and in a spare phone while you are away.

@Lewis, Public Mobile does not offer any SMS forwarding solutions.  I suggest checking the app store for solutions.
