How can I forward SMS via Jabber (XMPP) to read them on a PC?

Question

I want my received SMS to automagically be forwarded via Jabber (XMPP), so I can read them on my current PC.

I don't want to send SMS from my computer, though I would not mind the feature as an extra bonus.

How can I achieve this?

@SachinShekhar Because I want it :) I want to instaread my SMS on my current PC. — k0pernikus, Apr 17 '12 at 11:07

If you want this for a separate phone number (not relayed over your android device or similar) you could look into https://jmp.chat — singpolyma, Dec 18 '17 at 16:55

GTalkSMS (Google Project Page) does what you want (and much more).

Edit: After actively developing GTalkSMS, I decided that it's time to spawn a new project called MAXS. See my second answer.

^{Note: According to the FAQ I have to disclose that I am involved into GtalkSMS. GTalkSMS is an open source GPL licensed Android app. Everyone can contribute.}

MAXS (Modular Android XMPP Suite) does what you want, and much more. You can reply to incoming SMS messages or send them via XMPP. All you need is a standard XMPP client on your PC.

If XMPP is not a must have you should check out MightyText app and Chrome extension.

I use it every day. You don't need to have your phone near you because you see SMS messages and you can respond from the app. You can even initiate a phone call from the extension (web app).
