Android SMS Gateway
Android SMS Gateway links a cloud panel and REST API to an Android phone and SIM, so software can send and receive messages through the mobile operator. Messages use the connected SIM’s real mobile number, and replies can return to that phone’s inbox. It supports two-way SMS, bulk campaigns from Excel or CSV with spreadsheet-column personalization, scheduled sending, auto-replies, and delivery reports when available. MMS and USSD depend on handset and operator support. Its HTTPS REST/JSON API and webhooks cover delivery reports, incoming messages, and system events; examples are listed for PHP, Python, Node.js, Java, and C#. Multi-device plans can route traffic across phones and SIMs and provide failover if a device disconnects. The Free plan includes one device, 300 SMS for the account’s lifetime, and 300 contacts; demo messages append a website footer. Starter costs 19.00 USD per month, Professional 39.00 USD per month, Developer 50.00 USD per year, and Business 77.00 USD per month. Customers supply the phone, SIM, operator SMS credit, power, and internet connection; carrier costs and fair-use rules apply separately.
