[HH#42969] how to install free open source sms gateway?


Recommended Posts

That won't run on our servers due to its design (it's not a web application that runs through Apache/Python, but rather its own entire server...we don't allow custom daemons). You likely won't find a free host that can run that unfortunately...you'll need to rent a VPS from somewhere, we usually recommend Hostgator's VPS since they're fast and cheap: http://heliohost.org/partners/vps If you use a VPS like this, you can install it by following the installation guide on the software's website. You'd also need some way for it to interface with the cell network (usually a subscription to an SMSC provider...).

 

The easy way to send SMSes from a website would be to just use email. Most major cell providers have an email domain that accepts emails to phone numbers. Take a look at something like https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/how-to-send-free-text-messages-online/ On our end, you'd just use something like the mail() function in your website code...no special server software, no subscriptions, no cost.
