I use this free app to transfer text messages. Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Series. Since you live in Qatar, you may have a different carrier. I did have a lot of issues with my US sim in Hong Kong though had to manually try different mobile services but still couldn't receive any text messages - that feature is definitely part of my package so I was not happy I noticed in the logs that the system was defaulting to the legacy MMS transport rather than Lollipop transport.
