Really works on the 3GS. However, my question is: how do you auto forward the sms?
Thanks.

Hi did u find a solution to AUTO-FORWARD text messages without having to do it manually? I.e if phone A is switched off, in a different country even, it will still forward texts to phone B.

Easy - Do a screen capture and email the photo of the text.

That's a really poor solution - you canot then use the text anymore!

You can forward with iPhone 3.1. Open the text, select edit, check the texts from the thread you want to forward and select forward.

Why is it that if you have more than 2 bubbles, say one with graphic, one with media, and one with text you can't sent all three, because when you click on 2 of them, forward lights up, but when you click on the third one, it fades out and won't let you send...anyone else have this problem?
Matthew replied on Permalink
Nope I can select over a dozen messages to forward, all at one time.

The iPhone now does both forwarding and mass texting. Mass texting is native to the phone, just hit the + sign over and over and add as many contacts as you wish. Text forwarding is unfortunately only available after jailbreaking your phone using ZiPhone and then downloading the third party app SMSD or iSMS.

When I hit forward, the text I'm trying to forward doesn't come up. A window opens for me to select who to send text to, but the text to forward isn't there & the send button is not white & blue, just blue. Please help!

iPhone won't forward a text to email if imessage is on. It just won't work. With the most recent iOS upgrade (6.1.2) even disabling imessage doesn't help. I hit edit, tap the text, tap forward, choose the email address and send it. This used to work. Now the email never arrives. How can I forward a text to email?

Open the text, tap 2x the text chose copy, then open new message, tap 2x text box chose paste.
