There are so many interesting things that can be done with an Android phone.
Tomorrow, if the Google Play store decides not to publish this app, I can still install it via the APK file.
I wonder how many of these apps will be usable after Google's new rules about sideloading.
definitely a great setup for development, tho probably a good idea to have the Twilio integration ready to go.
legitimate messages or not, this will look like spam if you get a surprise burst of traffic. and providers will nuke your SIM, maybe blacklist your phone's IMEI, if they suspect you're using it for spam.
also is it weird that "That's its whole life now." made feel a bit sorry for the phone? might be spending too much time in opencode...

I've done this on symbian phone many many moons ago, for sms and mms messages. We all been there :)
Unlimited texts.
Nope. Sorry, it is unlimited texts for *personal* use --- as defined by the carrier.
Send "too many" and your account can be suspended.
Some carriers offer an email to SMS gateway so if you can send email, you can skip the $20 Android phone.

You lose the authz of a phone number to send from. SMS gateways are super jank in my experience.
Wish we could axe sms and rcs, too
What in god's name is that cookie consent form

What is dead may never die. :)
Maybe next he'll learn about sim900 and derivatives.
$20 and full android stack seems a massive waste for this, nevermind unreliable.
Find a 4g/5g board cheaper than an old phone?
Keep in mind though you may need to deal with encoding, chunking, and other low level issues.
