Windows modem vs Android API
| Dimension | PC modem class | SMS Gateway |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware | PC + USB modem | Android phone/tablet + SIM |
| Control plane | Often self-hosted Windows | Hosted API + panel |
| Service fee | License / your infra | Devices + SMS volume |
| Airtime | Your SIM | Your SIM |
Devices + volume vs PC stack cost
Count handsets for peak OTP, plus plan SMS volume, plus operator airtime. PC stacks trade license/infra for driver ops — still not “unlimited carrier SMS.”
CodeCanyon confusion
Random marketplace “SMS Gateway PHP” listings are third parties. We are not those SKUs.
When Android SIM API fits
You want recipients to see your real MSISDN, already buy local airtime, and prefer HTTPS from any language — OTP.
