From the README
httpSMS is a service that lets you use your Android phone as an SMS Gateway to send and receive SMS messages. You make a request to a simple HTTP API and it triggers your Android phone to send an SMS. SMS messages received on your android phone can also be forwarded to your webhook endpoint.
Quick Start Guide 👉 https://docs.httpsms.com
I'm originally from Cameroon and I wanted an automated way to send and receive SMS messages using an API. Unfortunately many countries don't support the ability to buy virtual phone numbers, and I could not find a good ready-made solution that could help me send/receive SMS messages using a mobile phone using an intuitive http API.
