simhook.dev Observed source

Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An open-source gateway that sends and receives SMS through an Android phone and its physical SIM.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-06 issue.

Field notes

simhook uses an Android phone as the radio endpoint: API requests reach the paired device, while incoming texts and delivery changes return as signed webhooks. The page documents retries lasting two days, dual-SIM selection, scheduled sends, and up to 5,000 recipients per call. It also presents a TypeScript SDK and an MCP server with eight agent tools, alongside an AGPL-3.0 self-hosting path using one compose file.
