SMS Forwarding for S60, in Python

I got a new phone and had to take a new SIM card for that, and I didn’t want to migrate my old number to the new card, as the new number is mostly for work. Now I have two phones but I want to carry just one, and have the calls and SMS:es forwarded to the new phone.

Easy? Not really. Diverting calls is easy, but for some reason, there just aren’t any SMS forwarding applications that would satisfy my requirements:

  • Free, as in speech and as in beer
  • Would only do one thing, that is, forward SMS:s to another cell phone number, as soon as they arrive
  • Would be easily customizable
  • Would work on S60 3rd edition without the certification pain

Well, now there is a solution that satisfies all these requirements. All this with < 30 lines of Python code.
