SMS Forwarding (lemmy.world)

I have a pixel 6, so I have ~1 year of security updates left.

I would like my next phone to use a data-only sim card/esim.

Now I still need my current number, and am okay with paying for it in addition to a data-only plan. What I would like is to leave the pixel 6 at home 24/7, and have a way of forwarding notifications to the new phone.

I am self-hosting many things, including ntfy, so if the phone could send an SMS to ntfy that would be amazing.

Are there any apps that do this? It doesn't have to just forward SMS, but all notifications would also work.

Should I even bother? Just leave it at home and check the SMS whenever I can? (Benefit of forcing people to use Signal)

@Dust0741 Check out jmp.chat (i can provide a referral code if you'd like a free trial). Your number would be ported there, and then SMS would go over XMPP/jabber to any device with a client running. Your phone can stay home, and you'd get SMS messages on your laptop or whatever device you've taken with you.

Yep this is what I'm doing currently, with Lineage as the phone OS and Monocles for XMPP on the phone.

I don't use voice, so I don't really care about it anyway. If you need voice, the Cheogram XMPP app can do VOIP.
