Let's take all the options so far. What I need is preferably not (only) a smartphone app but to be able to receive an SMS on whatever (virtual number) on a secured web office. Heck, the web is just much more flexible than a proprietary smartphone app.
What we have so far:
Google Voice - I don't know much how it works since it is a service aimed to the US but will it be good for my purposes? To give me a number where I can receive SMS and that's it. Not any forwarding needed. Free, I assume.
Fongo - What I see on their web page is I can use a desktop app as well, not sure if I can manage SMS from the web. That would be more simple. I couldn't figure out their pricing for what I need.
Fishtext - GBP 15 a year. Hopefully I find a better deal. I assume this is not the best price/quality for this kind of service.
Line2 -iOS only app. Not for me.
Some Homg kong prepaids have SMS forwarding capability - That would be interesting to learn about. And how did you though I should use this. Forward what to where? Maybe I don't get it.
Thank for your insights.
