An Android app that runs a Telegram bot on your phone to forward SMS messages, missed/incoming call notifications, and battery status to Telegram. It supports remote control via chat commands or SMS, carbon-copy forwarding to other push services, and a self-hosted Telegram Bot API endpoint.

Use cases

  • forward SMS messages from my Android phone to Telegram
  • get notified on Telegram when I miss a call on my other phone
  • monitor my phone's battery status remotely via a bot
  • send SMS replies remotely through a Telegram bot
  • relay Android notifications to Telegram without a third-party server
  • manage SMS on a spare phone left at home
  • share one bot across multiple Android phones in a group chat

When to choose

  • you carry multiple phones and want SMS/call alerts from one of them in Telegram
  • you want direct connection to Telegram's Bot API with no third-party relay service
  • you need remote SMS sending and device control via chat commands
  • you want to forward notifications to other push services like bark, gotify, or pushdeer

When to avoid

  • your device runs Android 5.0 or lower (use the telegram-sms-compat fork instead)
  • you cannot reach api.telegram.org from your network
  • you are unwilling to grant SMS, phone, call log, and notification access permissions
  • you need iOS or desktop SMS forwarding
