Text message resender

When customers reply to business texts, this App forwards that reply to your phone number (or another number you enter) so you can keep chatting from your handset. It is meant for personal follow-up, not as a full help desk.

Adding the App​

  1. Ensure Textbelt SMS stays healthy and inbound replies are already reaching Timelish.
  2. Open Apps, then Store, and install Text message resender.
  3. Optionally set a phone override field if forwards should reach a teammate or shared handset.
  4. Save. Ask a coworker’s phone to reply to an outbound SMS and confirm you receive the forwarded copy.

Forwarded texts sometimes land silently if the phone filters unknown senders. Check Apps troubleshooting and device Focus modes.

Good to know​

Treat forwarded messages like client data lock handsets respect privacy trainings.
