SMS Forward

I have Three SIM in my iPad which will not receive SMS messages - as a suggestion, an option in the Three APP to forward SMS messages would be of great value. 

The same for MIFI / BB routers - many have within setting ability to receive SMS but there is no notification & is a faff to login to the router. 

If we could forward SMS would be great ?

Hi @Clever-Trevor,

That's a really interesting suggestion. My understanding is that SMS are encrypted from end to end, so they aren't generally accessible anywhere other than the SIM/devices they are sent from and to. None of your text info is accessible on the App/My3 other than timestamps sent over from the billing system when you check your usage. 

Apple have always manufactured cellular iPads without SMS and voice call support, but most Android tablets do support these features. I'm not aware if they've ever given an official explanation of why they differ this between iPhones and iPads.

We can certainly feedback your suggestions anyway. 🙂
