EnvayaSMS is a SMS and MMS gateway running entirely as an Android app.
2011-09-19 03:45:09 +00:00
<p>
2011-09-19 03:52:16 +00:00
It forwards incoming SMS and MMS messages to a web server on the Internet, and sends
outgoing messages from the web server to other phones.
2011-09-19 03:45:09 +00:00
</p>
<p>
People with any type of mobile phone can send SMS and MMS to a phone
2011-09-23 00:25:32 +00:00
running EnvayaSMS, without needing their own Android phone.
2011-09-19 03:45:09 +00:00
</p>
<p>
It works wherever the phone can receive SMS messages and access the Internet
(via Wi-Fi or mobile data connection).

<h2>Why EnvayaSMS?</h2>

<p>
2011-09-23 23:14:39 +00:00
EnvayaSMS can be used to enable any web service to send and receive SMS and MMS messages
2011-09-19 03:52:16 +00:00

2011-09-23 00:25:32 +00:00
or SMS shortcode is difficult, expensive, or impossible. A phone running EnvayaSMS
2011-09-19 03:45:09 +00:00
connects to the phone network in the same way as any other mobile phone,
so it can be set up without needing approval from anyone else.
