Never Miss an SMS — Automatic Forwarding for Your Local Number
Every text message sent to your local number is delivered instantly to wherever you need it — a phone, an inbox, or your own system — with full control from your account portal.

Who Is Each Forwarding Option Built For?
Forward SMS straight to a mobile number you already carry, so nothing sent to your local number ever gets missed — no app to install, no extra device to check.
Forward incoming texts to a shared team inbox or distribution email, so support and sales messages land where the whole team can see and respond to them.
Point forwarding at your own endpoint and every SMS arrives as a simple request with sender, message, and destination number attached — ready to log, route, or trigger automation.
Forwarding via API — How It Works
In your account portal, set Forward Type to API and paste your endpoint’s URL into the API URL field. Every incoming SMS is then delivered to that URL with live values filled in automatically.
URL template — include these placeholders exactly as shown, curly braces included:
https://example.com/api?from={CallerID}&text={SMS_TEXT}&to={SMS_DST_ADDR}
- {CallerID} — sender phone number
- {SMS_TEXT} — text content of the SMS
- {SMS_DST_ADDR} — recipient destination number
Example with real data (sender 1234567890, message “Hello”, recipient 0987654321):
https://example.com/api?from=1234567890&text=Hello&to=0987654321
Keep the curly braces around each placeholder name — they tell the system where to insert the live values when a message is sent. All forwarding settings can be updated instantly from your account portal, with no waiting and no support calls needed.
