What is an Android SMS gateway?

An Android SMS gateway lets your software send text messages through an Android phone. Your website or app sends a request to an API, the API passes it to your phone, and your phone sends the SMS from its own SIM card, just as if you had typed it yourself.

It is a simple and low-cost way to send SMS without signing a contract with an SMS provider or buying special hardware. It suits developers, OTP and login systems, online shops, clinics, schools and any business that wants to send automatic text messages.

How much does the Android SMS Gateway cost?

The HostGrap Android SMS Gateway costs LKR 950 a month, or LKR 9,500 a year, which saves you about 17%. Prices are in Sri Lankan rupees.

Every plan includes the API, the SMS dashboard, real-time delivery status, the full message log, the connected devices list and instant activation. The text messages themselves are sent by your phone's SIM card, so they use the SMS allowance or rates of your own mobile plan.

How does it work?

You connect your Android phone to your HostGrap account, and it becomes your SMS gateway. When your website or app needs to send a text, it calls our API with your API key, the phone number and the message.

The API sends the message to your phone, your phone sends the SMS through its SIM card, and the delivery status comes back to your dashboard automatically. Keep the phone switched on, charged and connected to the internet, and it will keep sending messages for you.

Send SMS from your own app with a simple API

Connect your application to your Android phone with a straightforward REST API. Authenticate with your API key, send one request with the number and the message, and your phone delivers the SMS. The response tells you the message was queued and which device is sending it.

Track every message and device from one dashboard

Manage your whole SMS gateway from one easy dashboard. See the sending status of every message in real time, look back through the full log of messages you have sent, and keep an eye on all your connected Android phones.

The devices list shows each phone and SIM with its live online or offline status, so you know straight away if a phone needs charging or has lost its connection.

What can I use an SMS gateway for?

The most common use is one-time passwords. When a customer logs in or signs up, your system sends a short code by SMS to confirm it is really them. Online shops send order confirmations and delivery updates, and clinics, salons and schools send appointment reminders and notices.

You can also send alerts from your own systems, such as a warning when a server goes down or a payment comes in. Because the messages come from your own SIM, they arrive from a normal phone number that your customers can reply to or call.

Your own SIM, your own number

Every SMS is sent from the SIM card in your own phone, so your customers see your number, not a random sender. You choose the mobile network and plan that suit you, and many plans include low-cost or bundled SMS.

If you send many messages, you can connect more than one Android phone and SIM to share the work, and the dashboard shows each device and its status. Phones that are already in your drawer can become useful again.
