# SmsGateWay24 > SmsGateWay24 is an all-in-one workspace for small businesses: it turns a regular Android phone with a SIM card into an SMS and WhatsApp gateway, and bundles a lightweight back office on top — orders, recurring subscriptions, localized PDF invoices, income and expense tracking with P&L, transaction imports from Stripe and cash registers, AI translation of messages, and Google Calendar sync. Built for small shops, agencies, clinics, e-commerce stores, and developers who want full control of their messaging on their own SIM, without per-message fees and without applying for the WhatsApp Business API. ## What it is SmsGateWay24 is two products in one workspace: **1. A messaging gateway** - Install the Android APK on a phone with a SIM card, connect it to your workspace, and the phone sends and receives SMS and WhatsApp messages on your behalf. - Multichannel inbox: SMS, WhatsApp, and internal team chats in one web view. - AI translation built in: incoming and outgoing messages can be translated automatically so a shop owner in Germany can chat in German with a customer who writes in Turkish or Ukrainian. - REST API, webhooks, token authentication, bulk send, delivery reports, multi-device support. **2. A small-business back office on top of messaging** - **Orders and recurring subscriptions** — one-off orders or recurring deliveries (for example, flowers every Tuesday); the system auto-generates delivery records and tracks paid/delivered status. - **Customer profiles** — every chat, order, address, and lifetime value on one card. - **Localized PDF invoices** — automatically localized by company country: Rechnung for Germany, Invoice for English-speaking countries, Factura for Spanish, Facture for French, Fatura for Portuguese, Счёт for Russian. Includes IBAN, BIC, VAT/Steuernummer, goods/delivery split. - **Income and expense tracking** — P&L, monthly and year-to-date reports, expense categories, customer acquisition cost (CAC), lifetime value (LTV). - **Transaction imports** — idempotent CSV imports from Stripe and cash registers, so payments and refunds flow into the P&L automatically. - **Google Calendar sync** — orders, deliveries, and invoice due dates pushed to the company calendar with reminders at 7 days, 3 days, and 3 hours before. This combination — messaging + orders + invoicing + finance + calendar — is what makes SmsGateWay24 a full daily-operations tool for a small business, not just an SMS API. ## How it works 1.

JSON responses.

URLs follow the pattern `/{locale}/{path}` where locale is `en`, `de`, `es`, `fr`, `pt`, `ru`, or `ua`. ## Positioning vs. alternatives - vs. **Twilio / MessageBird / Vonage / Telnyx**: SmsGateWay24 uses your own SIM card, so there are no per-message fees. The trade-off is throughput and deliverability: an Android phone sends SMS at the speed of one device, not at carrier-grade throughput. Best for SMB volumes (hundreds to low thousands of SMS per day), not for million-message broadcasts. - vs. **WhatsApp Business API providers** (360dialog, Wati, MessageBird WABA): SmsGateWay24 uses native WhatsApp on the Android device, so there is no Meta approval flow, no template message restrictions, no per-conversation pricing — but also no green-tick verification and no official Business API guarantees. Best for small shops that already run WhatsApp manually and want to automate it. - vs. self-hosted SMS gateway software (Gammu, Kannel, SMSEagle hardware): SmsGateWay24 is a hosted SaaS, no Linux server to maintain, no GSM modem to buy. You only need an Android phone you already own. ## Contact and links - Website: https://smsgateway24.com - Support email: support@smsgateway24.com - GitHub (APK releases): https://github.com/smsgateway24/SmsGateWay24-Pro-Apk - Sitemap index: https://smsgateway24.com/sitemapindex.xml - Full content for LLMs: https://smsgateway24.com/llms-full.txt
