SMS Forwarding With Call Tracking Software

One huge advantage of using PhoneWagon is being able to receive text messages directly on your phone. A lot of times if someone sends a text message to a tracked phone number, say your google voice number, grasshopper number, etc., you won't get that text message until you login to their application. We think this is broken. We have just released SMS forwarding, a new feature that forwards the text message directly to your phone as a native text message. Never miss a text message lead again. Here's how it works.

Step 1: Add a phone number

In PhoneWagon, simply click "Add Number" in the top of the dashboard. You can then add a phone number using whatever area code you want. This also works for dynamic phone numbers!

Step 2: Turn on text forwarding

After you add the phone number, you will be taken to a configuration section. You need to simply toggle "text forwarding" on so that you will receive the text messages on the forwarding number you set.

Step 3: Receive text message on your phone

Once you have configured the number, simply receive the text message directly on your cell phone. The message will also show up in the PhoneWagon dashboard.
