FAQPage Schema
How do I send and receive SMS messages programmatically via a REST API?▼

You can send and receive SMS messages programmatically by turning an Android device into an SMS gateway. This exposes a REST API supporting text and data SMS, enabling automated messaging workflows for IoT devices and transactional alerts.

Can I use multi-SIM routing for SMS gateway applications on Android?▼

Yes, multi-SIM routing is supported for SMS gateway applications on Android. This allows you to manage multiple SIM cards for message routing, which helps balance load and scale notification services or transactional SMS workflows.

How does webhook-based event notification work for incoming SMS?▼

Webhook-based event notification for incoming SMS works by sending real-time HTTP POST requests to your configured server URL. This pushes incoming text and data SMS payloads directly to your applications, secured using JWT or Basic authentication.

What is the best way to secure an Android SMS gateway REST API?▼

The best way to secure an Android SMS gateway REST API is by implementing JWT and Basic authentication. Additionally, you can enforce webhook security to ensure that event notifications for incoming and outgoing SMS remain protected from unauthorized access.

Do I need a cloud server to use an Android device as an SMS gateway?▼

No, you do not need a cloud server as the SMS gateway supports Cloud, Private, and Local server modes. This flexibility allows you to deploy the REST API locally for privacy or privately to meet specific scaling requirements.

What are data SMS messages and how are they used in IoT messaging?▼

Data SMS messages are binary payloads sent via the SMS gateway REST API, distinct from standard text messages. They are utilized in IoT device messaging to transmit compact machine-readable data securely over cellular networks.
