MIT Android SMS gateway; Hosted Free 1 device/50 msgs/day
Comms / Notifications · Freemium · 3.1k
What's Good
MIT. Hosted Free: 1 device / 50 msgs/day / 300/mo. Self-host the gateway. Turn a spare Android into an SMS API without buying a CPaaS seat.
The Catch
Android phone must stay online; not iOS. SMS hole vs Twilio trials — you own the handset and carrier, not a cloud number product. Distinct from Twilio-class CPaaS.
Verdict
MIT Android SMS gateway. Hosted Free is capped; keep the phone online.
