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)

Macrodroid sold out and became spyware crammed with trackers that send data to dozens of third party analytics companies. Stay away from Macrodroid. Exodus report on the app

Well, my device is safe. I used a patched version with all that crap removed and my phone uses MinMinGuard and AdAway to block what's left.

May I ask how you got that patched version and how you can trust it?

Like every patched app, from 4PDA. I trust the forum members more than all the spyware present in the unpatched app. (If you are paranoid you can use App Manager the remove the components yourself)
