Use case

An SMS API for whatever you're building.

IoT alerts, home automation, monitoring, side projects: send SMS from a spare phone.

Why builders pick SMSKit

  • Clean REST, six languages of samples, webhooks. No SDK lock-in.
  • $5/phone fits a hobby budget, with the reliability needed for production.
  • Fully managed: no server to run. Pair a spare phone and you can be sending within minutes.

How SMSKit fits

Build whatever you need on a clean REST API. Webhooks push events with retries and backoff; reuse an idempotency key to retry an API request without creating a second job.
