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.
  • KES 10/phone is cheap enough for a hobby project; robust enough for production.
  • Fully managed — no server to run. Pair a spare phone and you're sending in minutes.

How SMSKit fits

Build whatever you need on a clean REST API. Webhooks push events; idempotency keys keep retries safe.
