You ask a friend from country A to install this app and you will be able to receive SMS from the service in country B. However, since this is a pretty simple application, it can also serve other purposes.
Features:
- Can handle multiple redirections
- Global activation toggle
SMS Forward is free, open source and without ads.
Warning:
If someone is asking you to install SMS Forward, be careful: this could be a scam.
