SMSTunnel for CF7

Get the SMSTunnel app on Google Play SMSTunnel for CF7 adds SMS notifications to Contact Form 7. When a visitor submits a form, you can automatically text yourself, your team, or the person who submitted it. The texts are sent from your own Android phone and number. You link the phone to your site by QR code in the main SMSTunnel plugin, and you can remove that connection anytime from the SMSTunnel app. End-to-end encryption. Turn it on in the SMSTunnel plugin and these texts are encrypted for your phone before they leave WordPress, so only your phone can read the words. After your phone sends it, a text travels over the mobile network like any other SMS. Requires SMSTunnel Plugin This addon requires the main SMSTunnel plugin to be installed and configured first.
