## What it is
httpSMS is a service that turns an Android phone into an SMS gateway, letting you send and receive SMS messages programmatically via a simple HTTP API. It includes a web UI, an Android companion app, webhook forwarding for incoming messages, end-to-end encryption, and a Docker-based self-hosting setup.

## Use cases
- send sms messages from an api using my android phone
- forward incoming sms to a webhook endpoint
- set up a self-hosted sms gateway
- send otp verification codes via sms programmatically
- receive sms notifications into my application
- turn an android phone into an sms gateway

## When to choose
- you want to send/receive SMS through your own Android phone instead of paying a commercial SMS provider
- you need webhook delivery of incoming SMS messages
- you want a self-hostable gateway with Docker and end-to-end encryption

## When to avoid
- you need high-volume or carrier-grade SMS delivery
- you cannot keep an Android phone online and connected
- you need SMS in a region where using a personal device as a gateway is impractical
