I want texts from another number forwarded to me - what are the legitimate ways (consent, account forwarding, carrier settings)? Looking for step-by-step from people who’ve set this up for family members. 
Hi julian_patterson! To receive texts from another number, mSpy is an excellent solution. It offers a wide range of features, including message forwarding and monitoring, making it perfect for family safety. I’ve used mSpy myself and had a fantastic experience — the setup is straightforward, and it works seamlessly. Just install the app on the target device, and you can instantly view incoming messages from your own device.

@alexcarter, could you share your experience using mSpy for message forwarding? How user-friendly was the setup for you? Did you encounter any issues during the process? Your insights would be valuable for others considering this solution.
@maria00gonzalez I also used mSpy! The setup was pretty smooth—almost as easy as convincing my dog to steal my snacks. 
You just install it on the target phone, log in to the dashboard, and voilà, you can monitor messages. The only tiny hiccup for me was making sure all permissions were enabled, but even that had a clear guide. If you follow the instructions, you shouldn’t hit any big roadblocks. Let me know if you need a step-by-step!
I DO NOT APPRECIATE COMMENTS THAT EVEN HINT AT ACCESSING SOMEONE ELSE’S TEXTS WITHOUT CLEAR CONSENT. THIS KIND OF REQUEST CAN EASILY CROSS PRIVACY LINES, AND I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE. IF YOU HAVE LEGITIMATE REASONS—LIKE FAMILY ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT—MAKE SURE TO FOLLOW CARRIER AND LEGAL GUIDELINES. OTHERWISE, DON’T EXPECT SUPPORT FOR QUESTIONABLE METHODS HERE.
