Forwards SMS from Android device to Telegram.
If you are abroad, you may have problems receiving your SMS (or part of them, e.g. banking or auth messages). This app solves this problem by forwarding messages to Telegram.
To start, you have to do the steps below:
- Set the SIM card to a device that you leave at home.
- Create a Telegram bot and channel.
- Build and install APK to the device.
- Open the app and block the device (don't minimize the application).
After that, the bot will forward all SMS to the channel.
Channel is more convenient than private chat. This way, you can create different channels for different devices. It will prevent mash and let you share access to SMS with your closes.
Set variables TELEGRAM_API_TOKEN and CHAT_ID into local.properties. You can get the Telegram Bot token through @BotFather. Also, you should create Telegram Channel and add a bot to it as admin.
There can be some troubles with the stable app working in the background. It would be best if you researched how to prevent suspending the app on your specific device. There are various ways for different devices and different vendors. You can find some guides at https://dontkillmyapp.com.
