Why SMS Gateway Master Exists

Existing cloud SMS services are expensive, complex to set up, and route your messages through third-party servers. We built a better way.

❌ The Problem with Cloud SMS APIs

  • Pay $0.0075+ per message — costs add up fast
  • Long account verification and compliance process
  • Must purchase a virtual phone number
  • Message content routes through third-party servers
  • Complex SDK setup and vendor lock-in
  • Monthly minimum fees even when usage is low

✅ The SMS Gateway Master Solution

  • Flat €5/month (or €52/year) for 10,000 SMS/day — predictable cost
  • Install app, get API key — ready in 5 minutes
  • Use your own SIM card and phone number
  • Messages sent directly via Android SmsManager — local-first
  • Standard REST API — works with any language or platform
  • 7-day free trial, no credit card required upfront

How It Works

A local-first, 4-step architecture that keeps your messages private while delivering enterprise-grade reliability.

1

API Request

Your application sends an HTTP POST to the cloud endpoint with your API key, phone number, and message text.

2

Cloud Routing

Firebase Cloud Function validates your API key and forwards a push notification (FCM) to your registered Android device.

3

Native SMS Send

SMS Gateway Master on your Android phone receives the FCM and uses the native SmsManager to deliver the SMS through your carrier.

4

Webhook Callback

Delivery status (sent / delivered / failed) is POSTed back to your webhook URL in real-time for tracking and retry logic.

Key Features

Everything you need to send SMS programmatically, manage conversations, and integrate with your systems.

🔌

REST API Gateway

Simple HTTP POST endpoint. Works with any language: Python, Node.js, PHP, cURL, Excel VBA, Google Sheets, Bash. No SDK required — just an HTTP client.

🔒

Local-First Privacy

Message content is never stored in the cloud. SMS are sent directly via Android's SmsManager. All conversation history lives only on your device in Room Database.

Real-Time Webhooks

Instant delivery status callbacks for every SMS. Set a default webhook once, or override per-request. Know immediately when messages are sent, delivered, or fail.

📱

Full-Featured SMS App

Not just an API bridge — it's a complete default SMS app with Material Design 3, dark mode, conversation threads, search, and smart message management.

📨

High Throughput

PRO plan supports up to 10,000 SMS per day via API. Background processing with WorkManager ensures reliable delivery even under high load.

Ready-to-Use Code

Download production-ready scripts for Python, Node.js, PHP, Excel VBA, Google Sheets, and Bash. Add your API key and start sending in minutes.

Use Cases

SMS Gateway Master is used by developers and businesses for a wide range of SMS automation scenarios.

🔔 Business Notifications

📊 System & DevOps Alerts

Get SMS notifications when your server goes down, database hits capacity, or any monitored metric exceeds a threshold. Integrate with cron jobs or monitoring tools.

📣 Marketing Campaigns

Send promotional SMS to customer lists from Python or Google Sheets. Bulk-send support with per-message delivery tracking through webhooks.

🏢 CRM & ERP Integration

Trigger SMS from your CRM or ERP when a deal closes, invoice is issued, or customer interaction occurs. Works with any system that can make HTTP calls.
