Automatically forwarding texts

[Yakk]

I'm stuck with an iPhone 8+ and I just want to leave it in a drawer or something and not have to deal with it. I got the calls forwarding to work automatically easily enough to my S7, is there an easy way to automatically forward texts? Tried a few ways I found from searching online, but not working well so far. Open to suggestions from people who got it working.

Can you use a Google Voice number on the iPhone? If you have T-Mobile, you can use Digits.

Not T-Mobile... It's actually between different carriers so I'm looking for a more generic solution. Thanks though.
