Questions before you start
Short answers to what businesses ask before connecting a phone. Technical details are in the API documentation.
No. Messages go out from the SIM in your phone, so customers see a number they already know. The phone needs mobile coverage, internet access and SMS permissions.
smsportal does not charge per message. You pay a flat platform plan and your carrier bills SMS according to your tariff. On plans with unlimited SMS you usually pay nothing extra.
Yes. The phone sends and receives messages, so it needs power, coverage and internet. If it briefly loses connection, messages wait in the queue for up to 72 hours and go out once it is back.
By default a phone sends one message every 5 seconds, up to 720 per hour. Spread higher volume across several phones. Your carrier may also apply its own SIM limits.
The gateway must be an Android 7.0+ phone, because iOS does not let apps send SMS in the background. The dashboard, API and MCP work in any browser and operating system.
Yes, for customers who have opted in. For campaigns to tens of thousands of numbers a classic gateway is a better fit, because carriers may restrict bulk sending from consumer SIM plans.
Through the MCP server and an API key you create in the dashboard. The agent only sees your account’s phones and messages. Revoke the key at any time to remove access.
No. smsportal.app is a Polish service that sends SMS from your own Android phone. It is not affiliated with SMSPortal (Pty) Ltd of Cape Town (smsportal.com), so their reviews and prices do not apply to us.
No. Acceptance means the message is queued. The actual status depends on the phone, the network and the delivery report. Check it in the dashboard, through the API, a webhook or an MCP tool.
