Do you own multiple smartphones and phone numbers but only want to send text messages through one device only? Do you work in front of the computer for hours at a time and would benefit from receiving and responding to SMS text messages on your desktop? Then here are five SMS forwarding apps for Android that you can download for free from the Google Play store. An SMS forwarding app will prove most useful when you are charging one of your mobile phones or traveling to another country but can receive forwarded messages on another handset.

PhoneLeash
The richly featured PhoneLeash app allows you to remotely answer SMS text messages from any email address or from another mobile phone.
