After receiving my Project Fi welcome kit last week, I put aside my Moto G to test Google's triple-network service on a Nexus 6. So far, it's working well except for one annoying problem: I effectively have two phones, each with its own phone number. Show
Forwarding calls between my primary number and the one I'm using for Project Fi isn't the issue. It's generally easy to have calls forwarded from one number to another. Text messages? That's a different story: Over the past week, I've missed a number of important texts and confused my contacts who have seen messages from my unfamiliar Project Fi phone number. Wouldn't it be nice if you could forward and interact with text messages on a second phone without anyone being the wiser? I dug around in the Google Play Store and it turns out there are several apps that let you mirror messages between two phones, even allowing you to send responses back using a single number. For now, I'm using an app called FreeForward to do just that. And I'm glad I did, else I would have missed this important text from my son yesterday; his car eventually broke down last night.
