Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about downloading and installing SMS Gateway tools
1Is the SMS Gateway Android app free to download?
Yes! The SMS Gateway Android app is free to download and install. You get 300 SMS total and 300 contacts on the free tier to test sending. No hidden fees. No setup costs.
2Which Android version is required for the SMS Gateway app?
The app works on Android 5.0 and up. For all features like USSD, use Android 8.0 or newer. Works with Samsung, Google Pixel, Xiaomi, OnePlus, and others.
3How large is the SMS Gateway APK file and where is it stored?
The current official APK is about 5.4 MB (v7.0). It saves to your device Downloads folder—open the file to install (you may need to allow installs from the browser).
4Do I need Windows ADB tools for the SMS Gateway?
Platform-Tools (adb) are only needed if you manage the phone from a PC (USB debugging, OEM rate-ceiling tuning, logcat). Most day-to-day sending never needs a PC. Get ADB from Google’s official Platform-Tools package—not from random mirrored installers.
5Can I use Android emulators like BlueStacks or NoxPlayer?
Emulators can run the app for UI testing, but they cannot send real SMS without a SIM path. Production sending needs a physical Android device with operator SMS credit.
6How do I raise Android SMS rate limits?
OEM/Android SMS rate limits are separate from your mobile plan. Tutorials cover raising platform limits where supported (sometimes with ADB). Carrier network caps and spam filters still apply — nothing on this page bypasses operator policy or anti-spam rules.
7Where is the API documentation?
Use the online Developer Center for REST endpoints, authentication, webhooks, errors, and samples. We do not host a separate offline API PDF on this site—the live docs stay current without a second packaging channel.
8How do I verify the official SMS Gateway APK?
Download only from sms-gateway.app. Compare the file SHA-256 to the published value (6c89a47ca4ec…). On Windows: Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 .\sms-gateway.apk. On Linux/macOS: sha256sum sms-gateway.apk. Third-party Play Store apps linked here are not issued by us—use their own store pages.
9Are downloads malware-free?
We host our official Android APK and publish its SHA-256 so you can confirm integrity after download. We do not claim absolute 'virus-free' for third-party apps. Prefer official Play Store / vendor pages for Always ON, emulators, and Google utilities linked from this page.
10Do I need to uninstall the old version before updating?
No need to uninstall. Just download the latest APK and install it. Your settings, configs, and message history stay safe. The app will tell you when updates are available.
11What's the difference between the Essential Apps and Optimization Tools?
Essential Apps start with the SMS Gateway APK (required). Links to Always ON, Chomp SMS, and similar apps are third-party options for screen-on or client SMS UX. Optimization entries are optional—OEM rate-limit guidance, carrier service packages, and developer docs. None remove operator spam policy.
