Key Takeaways

  • Java bulk send on an Android SMS gateway is HttpClient to POST /messages (or POST /campaigns) — not a Maven “Complete SMS SDK.”
  • Several numbers in to[], or a saved list via campaigns. Confirm live JSON in Developer Center.
  • Tight for-loops outrun the SIM. Queue, cap msgs/min, persist ids, same Idempotency-Key on retry.
  • HTTP 200 is accepted. Watch DLR mid-campaign. Unknown ≠ resend the whole file.
  • You bring the phone and operator credit. Platform pricing is devices plus send volume.

A loop is not a radio

Hub: Android SMS gateway API. Feature: bulk CSV. This page is a Java worker that will not melt a SIM. Live fields: Developer Center.

We meter devices and volume. A faster executor does not include pulsa. Checklist: bulk campaign checklist.

HTTPS/JSON, not a Java SDK

POST https://app.sms-gateway.app/api/v1/messages with Authorization: Bearer. HttpClient intro: OpenJDK HttpClient. PHP/C# on this site are REST samples too — not packages: PHP.

“If your thread pool is sized for the JVM, not the tray, you will discover OEM rate ceilings as a production incident.”

Pace to devices

Multi-device multiplies radios, not magic. Multi-device. SMS Retriever is end-user OTP UX — not this loop. Pairing.

Keep OTP off this loop

Isolate OTP. STOP: auto-reply. Pricing.

Next steps

Canary 10 rows. Watch Pending age. Then the list. Operator credit stays yours.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Direct answers about android sms gateway api.

Is there an official Java SDK?

No. Use java.net.http.HttpClient (or equivalent) with a Bearer token from env. Do not put keys in an Android APK.

Should I POST one recipient per request in a tight loop?

Prefer batches in to[] where the live API allows, or campaigns for lists. Either way, pace to last-seen and OEM ceilings.

Does bulk include extra airtime?

Each part bills the operator. Free is 300 SMS lifetime on the platform. Starter, Professional, and Business list Unlimited SMS as platform send volume; that is not unmetered carrier SMS.
