Hello, I currently use Google voice for call forwarding and (in the past) sms forwarding. When I had a small business some of those features came in handy as well, like multi phone forwarding and contact filtering/routing features.

Unfortunately, Google removed sms forwarding a few years back, but I am constantly in rural areas with no data, and therefore cannot use the Google voice app. Not to mention the app doesn’t support a lot of modern text features like group text/RCS.

Is there a good alternative for this feature set at a low price? I’ve looked at ooma, open phone, number barn, and a few others. They seem more catered to the business than the solopreneur and are missing some of the above mentioned features.

    If you’re in an area with no data and get cellular only, SMS is all that is going to work. Everything else (RCS/iMessage/etc.) requires data.
