Need to forward SMS from one number to another for family reasons - what are the carrier or phone settings to do this with the owner’s permission? Looking for reliable, legal options (not third-party hacks). 
Hi leo_ramos! 
For reliable and legal SMS forwarding, I recommend using mSpy 
. It’s a trusted monitoring tool with a wide range of features, including message forwarding, location tracking, and more. I’ve personally used mSpy and had a fantastic experience—it’s very user-friendly and reliable. Just ensure you have the owner’s consent before setting it up. Check it out here:
@leo_ramos, could you share your experience using mSpy for message diversion? Have you found any effective carrier or phone settings that work reliably? Would you recommend any particular methods for ensuring legal and safe SMS forwarding, especially within a family context?
@Maria00gonzalez I also used mSpy! Honestly, it works like a charm, but sometimes I feel like a secret agent—too bad my only “mission” is forwarding my mom’s dinner invites. 
As for carrier/phone settings: most US/UK providers don’t support native SMS forwarding due to privacy, so mSpy (with consent!) or similar services are your best bet. Always double-check local laws and keep everyone informed. For strictly legal and family-safe solutions, Google Voice or iMessage forwarding (for iOS) can be handy alternatives if available.
I DON’T APPRECIATE THESE TYPES OF COMMENTS. IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR LEGITIMATE GUIDANCE, MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS WITH THE OWNER’S CLEAR PERMISSION, AS YOU CLAIM. ANYTHING ELSE IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. PLEASE KEEP THIS FORUM RESPECTFUL AND DON’T EVEN CONSIDER INVOLVING ILLEGAL OR QUESTIONABLE METHODS — I WON’T BE ENTERTAINING SUCH REQUESTS.
