Turn any Android phone into a powerful SMS gateway
Send and receive SMS at scale through your own devices. No aggregator contracts, no per-message fees, no number provisioning. Just install the app, connect, and send.
Three steps to your own SMS gateway
No carrier contracts. No provisioning. No setup fees. Be sending in under five minutes.
Install the companion app
Download the smsdora Android app on any phone running Android 8.0+. Sign in with your account and the device appears in your dashboard instantly.
Send from dashboard or API
Compose messages from the web dashboard, trigger via the REST API, or launch bulk campaigns. Your phone dispatches every message through its SIM card.
Track every delivery
Monitor delivery status in real time — Queued → Dispatching → Sent → Delivered. Get alerts on failures, latency spikes, and delivery drops.
Monitor every connected device in real time
See which devices are online, their battery levels, SIM card details, and last activity — all from a single dashboard. Filter by status, search by name, and get instant alerts when a device goes offline.
- Online/offline status with last-seen timestamps
- SIM label, slot, and carrier information
- Battery and connectivity monitoring
- One-click device pause and resume
- Multi-device load balancing for dispatch
Full visibility into every message
Every SMS you send is logged with complete operational metadata. Filter by status, source, or phone number. Spot issues before they escalate with the built-in anomaly alerts panel.
- Real-time status: Queued → Dispatching → Sent → Delivered
- Source tracking: Dashboard, API, or Campaign
- Smart issue alerts — delivery drops, failure spikes, latency
- Paginated logs with search by phone number
- Message preview and per-message detail view
Everything you need in an SMS gateway
A complete toolkit for device-based SMS operations — from sending a single test message to running high-volume automated workflows.
REST API
Send SMS programmatically with a single HTTP request. Generate scoped API keys, track usage, and integrate with any stack.
Incoming SMS
Your connected devices can also receive inbound messages. View them in your dashboard inbox with sender, timestamp, and content.
API Key Management
Create, revoke, and monitor API keys with scoped permissions. Track request counts and last-used timestamps for security auditing.
Webhook Notifications
Get real-time delivery status updates pushed to your own endpoints. No polling required — events fire as status changes happen.
Multi-Device Support
Connect multiple Android devices and let the platform load-balance dispatch across them. Scale horizontally by adding more phones.
Auto-Retry & Failover
If a device is offline or a message fails, the platform automatically retries or routes to another available device.
No Geo Restrictions
Send to any country your carrier supports. Use local SIM cards for international recipients — no separate number provisioning.
Secure by Design
Hashed API keys, TLS encryption, Stripe webhook signatures, and token-based authentication. Your data stays protected.
Zero Per-Message Fees
Flat subscription pricing based on connected devices. You pay your carrier's standard SMS rate — we don't add any per-message surcharge.
Integrate SMS into your product in minutes
A clean, RESTful API with simple authentication. Generate API keys from the dashboard, send your first message with a single curl command, and build production workflows with any language or framework.
