Designed for developers, startups, and small-to-medium businesses, textbee exposes a REST API that allows external applications to trigger SMS messages directly through a connected Android device, eliminating the need for third-party SMS service providers and their associated per-message costs.\n\nThe platform consists of two components: an Android app installed on the gateway device and a web dashboard for managing devices, monitoring message activity, and generating API keys. The REST API supports sending individual and bulk SMS messages, receiving inbound SMS, and querying delivery status. Self-hosting is supported, giving teams full control over infrastructure and data residency. A cloud-hosted option is also available for teams that prefer a managed setup without server administration overhead.\n\nCore use cases include two-factor authentication delivery, transactional notifications, internal alerting systems, and CRM integrations where SMS communication is routed through existing Android hardware. Because the solution is open-source, development teams can audit the codebase, contribute to the project, and customize deployments to fit specific operational requirements.","image":"https://images.g2crowd.com/display-layer-screenshots/2165794/7c0393ea65eeed7b289a2134cc3163cfd3954e2a4395a8535a61a54ded739014.jpg","url":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2383782/textbee","@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2383782/textbee#software","@type":"SoftwareApplication","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/#organization"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud"},{"@id":"https://www.getapp.za.com/software/2383782/textbee#breadcrumblist","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Mobile Marketing Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/309/mobile-marketing/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"textbee","position":3,"item":"/software/2383782/textbee","@type":"ListItem"}]}]}
