Empowering developers with free, reliable SMS messaging solutions
Cheap O SMS was created to democratize SMS messaging by providing developers with a completely free, open-source solution that leverages existing Android devices as SMS gateways.
We believe that SMS messaging should be accessible to everyone, regardless of budget constraints. Traditional SMS services can be expensive and often come with complex pricing structures. Our solution eliminates these barriers by allowing you to use your own Android device as a powerful SMS gateway.
The project began when our founder, frustrated with expensive SMS API services, realized that most people already own powerful Android devices capable of sending and receiving text messages. Why not harness this existing infrastructure?
What started as a simple script to send SMS messages from an Android phone has evolved into a comprehensive platform that serves thousands of developers worldwide.
Our code is open and transparent. We believe in community-driven development and welcome contributions from developers worldwide.
Your data stays on your device. We don't store your messages or personal information on our servers.
Built by developers, for developers. Our community shapes the direction and features of the platform.
We prioritize simplicity and performance. Get up and running in minutes, not hours.
