If we use two phones and we have two different phone numbers that we always carry with us, it can be useful to make sure that the SMS that you receive on one of the phones, the one we use the least, are diverted and forwarded automatically to the other that we control instead more often. If the SMS to be diverted are received on an Android phone, then there are several applications that can work for automatic forwarding to another phone, all or even just the SMS from a certain sender .
This can be achieved by using those free automation applications for Android such as MacroDroid, AutomateIt Cronoid, IFTTT. These applications allow you to create automatic rules, making sure that when you receive an SMS it is automatically diverted to another phone number . Some of these applications can also be used to divert only SMS messages that have a certain specific text.
NOTE: keep in mind that diverting messages costs the normal rate you pay for sending SMS (those who have free SMS do not have to worry).

1) Forward SMS with MacroDroid
MacroDroid is an automation application for Android that you can use to automatically forward SMS to another phone.
Then install Macrodroid, open it and add a new macro from the menu.
The activation trigger is " SMS Received " and you can then write to activate the rule only for SMS from a certain telephone number. The action is to send an SMS to another phone number to which you want to send the SMS, defining its content. Save and activate the macro to make sure that every time you receive an SMS from the specified contact number, it will be diverted and forwarded to the other phone number.
2) IFTTT automatic SMS forwarding
IFTTT is one of the most popular automatic action apps for Android and can be used to divert SMS from one phone to another.
You only need to add an applet to the application by selecting "Android SMS" as the trigger.
The rule therefore becomes that, every new SMS received from a phone number (which can be chosen), then the action of forwarding that message to another number will be performed. Here too you can add more information to the content of the message. In the end, activate the applet.
3) Chronoid
SMS Mirror can work for diverting SMS to other smartphones. Also here you must add as a trigger (i.e. as a switch that triggers the automatic action) the receipt of an SMS and as an action the sending of that SMS to another number.

AutomateIt is yet another of the apps to perform automatic actions of all kinds, simple to configure, which also allows you to divert SMS to another phone.
