SMS Gateway – Use Your Android Phone as SMS/MMS Gateway (SaaS)

Turn your mobile phone into the SMS Gateway for your applications. Send bulk SMS and MMS using your Android device SIM.

Features

• Send bulk messages :- Use CSV or Excel file containing numbers to send bulk messages.
• Send bulk MMS :- It supports sending MMS too. You can send normal text messages as MMS, or you can also attach image files with your messages. It also provides an API, so you can send MMS messages programmatically. This feature relies on MMS availability in your country and support from your network operator. The receiver must be capable of receiving MMS to receive it. If you can send MMS normally, then it should work. This feature should not be confused with RCS or any other messaging capabilities provided by the device manufacturer (e.g. Samsung message, Mi message etc.). It is a good idea to try out the demo from here to check MMS compatibility.
• Supports sending USSD requests :- It also supports sending USSD requests. You will be able to send it using web panel or API. All the responses resulted from USSD requests will be visible in web panel. You can read responses using the API, or you can also subscribe to webhook to read it as soon as they arrive. This feature requires a device with Android 8.0 or above.
• SaaS Ready :- You can sell it as a service with regular license. You can add plans with messages limit, contacts limit and devices limit. It provides PayPal integration, which allows you to process credit cards and debit cards. You can also accept offline payments (Cash, Cheque etc.) and start the subscription manually. The manual subscription will renew itself at a defined interval until you cancel it, or it reaches the expiry time.
• Resource friendly and Scalable :- Unlike most app like this that uses long polling to send the messages, SMS Gateway uses the Firebase Push Notification. This allows it to work without overloading the server with requests even if you have millions of connected devices. It also saves your devices battery life by only contacting the server when there are new messages to send. If you don’t want to rely on a third party service like Firebase, then you can also use it without it.
• Complete White-Label Solution :- You can completely white-label an Android app by changing its logo, name and server URL using our build server. You will be able to create up to 3 custom APKs for each new version.
• Works in background :- You don’t need to keep the Android app open on the device for it to work. This makes it easier to use it with your regular device. You won’t need a dedicated device for it.
• API :- Send SMS from your application developed using any programming language.
• Supports very long messages :- Send SMS with virtually no limit. You won’t be bound by SMS character limit (160 Characters).
• Supports delay between messages :- You can set delay between each message to send limited amount of messages in specific time interval.
• Supports traditional and QR Code sign in :- You can log in into the mobile app using the QR code or by entering your credentials manually. There is no need to enter server URL and credentials manually in the app when you use the QR code.
• Tracks message status :- Shows status of messages sent using SMS Gateway in Admin Panel.
• Auto responder :- You can add responses for certain messages so whenever you receive that message, the app will reply it automatically.
• Multi language support :- It supports multiple languages and comes with English and German. You will be able to add more languages easily by following instructions in the docs.
• Supports SMS delivery reports :- It also supports tracking of delivery of SMS messages when you turn on delivery reports. It will report the message as ‘Delivered’ when the message is successfully delivered.
• Receive SMS messages in Admin Panel :- Ability to receive SMS messages in the Admin Panel and respond to them using a WebHook. You can also activate the ability to receive SMS messages directly in your email.
• Use multiple devices to send faster :- Ability to sign in using multiple Android devices to split messages between them when sending bulk messages.
• Share devices :- Admin can share devices to multiple users, so they can use it for sending.
• Blacklist :- Each user account have their own blacklist. Users can add numbers to blacklist to avoid sending messages to those numbers. Subscriber can also reply with “STOP” to add their number in user’s blacklist.
• Create users :- Ability to create other users to let them use SMS Gateway from their mobile phones.
• Limit users :- Control how many devices your users can register, how many messages they can send, how many contacts they can store and when their account will expire.
• Schedule messages :- Send messages on schedule.
• Supports Dual SIM devices :- Send messages using any SIM programmatically or using Excel file.
• Contact lists :- Create contact lists and import contacts into them using Excel file.

How it works!

1.) INSTALL ADMIN PANEL

You will receive Admin panel when you purchase SMS Gateway. Install it on your web hosting. It comes with an installation script, so it should be easy.

2.) INSTALL ANDROID APP

You need to download Android App from here. After installing it, you can log in to it using your Admin panel URL and it’s credentials.

3.) READY TO SEND

Now when you send messages using API or Excel file it will be first stored on your server with the ‘Pending’ status.

4.) READY TO PROCESS

After your server gets the messages, it sends the notification to SMS Gateway app on your mobile. When the app gets the notification, it queues the messages for sending and set their status as ‘Queued’.

5.) SENT AND DONE

After each message is sent they get the status ‘Sent’ if it was sent successfully, otherwise it will get ‘Failed’ status. SMS Gateway also checks for delivery of messages. If you turned on delivery reports in the app and your mobile network is unable to deliver the message, it will be marked as ‘Failed’ otherwise it will be marked as ‘Delivered’ status.

Server Requirements

• Apache or Nginx
• PHP 8.1 or above
• MySQL

PHP Extensions

• php_curl
• php_gd2 (if not compiled in)
• php_json
• php_mbstring
• php_mysqli
• php_xml
• php_zip

It is recommended to use VPS Hosting for SMS Gateway, but it should work perfectly fine on Shared Hosting too. If you decide to go with Shared Hosting, make sure your host allows hosting of SMS Gateway application. Some hosts like HostGator and iPage don’t allow it, so it is more likely that they will block the app.

Android Device Requirements

• Android 5.0 or above.
• Device with 2 GB or more RAM. It works on lower spec devices, but you may experience degraded performance.

Note

There was a policy change from Google for all apps requiring SMS related permissions, as you can see here. After March 9, 2019, this app won’t be available through Play Store. You will get all future updates notifications from CodeCanyon. You will need to install the APK file on your device to use the app. The app will function normally, and its functionality won’t be affected from this move by Google.
