PhoneLeash: SMS Auto Forwarder

PhoneLeash: Auto-forward SMS, MMS & more to email!

About this app

PhoneLeash automatically forwards your text messages to email — and lets you reply right from your inbox. Both sides of every conversation, displayed as clean threads built for Gmail.

YOUR COMPLETE TEXT INBOX IN EMAIL
PhoneLeash forwards incoming AND outgoing texts, so your email becomes a complete mirror of every SMS conversation. Group messages show all participants. Pictures arrive as attachments. It just works.

REPLY NATURALLY FROM EMAIL
This is what sets PhoneLeash apart. Reply to any forwarded text the same way you reply to any email — PhoneLeash sends it as an SMS from your phone. Attach a photo and it goes as MMS. Replies to group messages go back to the whole group. Your email signature is automatically stripped out. If you use Gmail, every conversation becomes a clean, threaded exchange.

SEND NEW TEXTS FROM YOUR COMPUTER
Start entirely new text conversations from email. Just email [e-mail] with @JohnBrown or @2223334444 followed by your message. Attach a picture for MMS.

WHAT CAN YOU FORWARD?
• SMS text messages (incoming and outgoing)

CALL & VOICEMAIL NOTIFICATIONS

Ratings and reviews

This is a completely honest review. The application worked perfectly. The telephone from which I forwarded text messages was in Milwaukee, WI. I was in Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. I did not lose a single word from any of the nearly 150 texts sent to me. I was very satisfied the previous time I used the subscription service and it was perfect this time. I paid a one month subscription and had no issue canceling when I no longer needed the service. Easy and convenient to use.

I have looked high and far for a good app that would forward my sms from my personal phone to my work phone and finally I have found it. Now let me clear some things up for you re re's out there. You can download a 30 day free trial then if it has worked just the way you expected to then you may pay for the app 6 months at a time. The price per month is very reasonable very. Email technical support for setting help...ur good 2 go!! This app exceeded my expectations. Kudos 2 the developer!!!!

I've used Phone Leash for a number of years and have found nothing else that works as well. I use it to transfer texts from a work phone to my personal one so there is no need to carry 2 phones. It was easy to set up and easy to use. I would highly recommend it to anybody looking to forward messages. It handles both SMS and MMs messages with ease.
