How I Built an SMS Gateway with a $20 Android Phone

jqpabc123: Unlimited texts.Nope. Sorry, it is unlimited texts for *personal* use --- as defined by the carrier.Send "too many" and your account can be suspended.Some carriers offer an email to SMS gateway so if you can send email, you can skip the $20 Android phone.https://20somethingfinance.com/how-to-send-text-messages-sms...

billynomates: What in god's name is that cookie consent form

snvzz: Maybe next he'll learn about sim900 and derivatives.$20 and full android stack seems a massive waste for this, nevermind unreliable.

Daviey: Find a 4g/5g board cheaper than an old phone?

mindo: I've done this on symbian phone many many moons ago, for sms and mms messages. We all been there :)

kotaKat: I can feel the 10DLC violations in the US already running through my blood. You will be eviscerated by the carriers for doing this for anything longer than a single day.I hope your disaster recovery (or 'didn't realize') strategy includes a drawer full of additional burner Android phones and SIM cards.
