SMS Mobile App: SMS you send from your own SIM, on a schedule you set
- Web
- Android
SMS Mobile App lets you plan text messages and send them from your own Android SIM, at your carrier’s normal rate. In the current release, it opens your own SMS app with the recipient and text filled in. You tap Send.
What is SMS Mobile App?
A sender, not a replacement messaging app. It isn’t a default SMS handler, and it asks for no restricted permission; READ_CONTACTS is optional, there so you can pick recipients from your address book instead of typing numbers.
Who is SMS Mobile App for?
People who send the same kind of message on a schedule and don’t want a paid SMS gateway, API keys or a per-message fee from anyone but their carrier, and who want recipients to see their real number, not a shortcode.
What did we build?
Planning that holds up through a busy week. A message can go out once, on a date you pick, or on a daily, weekly or custom rule. Templates hold reusable messages with tokens filled in, and drafts save every 2 seconds and follow you from the web dashboard to your phone.
Each job shows its status, and a send that fails on a passing problem gets automatic retries.
The volunteer device pool and bulk batches are paused in the current release.
Where can I check it?
Write a template with a token in it, use it for one message, and watch your SMS app open with the text filled in for you to send.
Want something like SMS Mobile App built?
An app that sends from someone’s own phone has to explain itself plainly, in the store and on screen, and Mobile apps shows how we plan for that from the first milestone.
Name the permission your app needs in the brief, or ask in a free call whether it needs one at all.
