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

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

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.
