# Send Android SMS Gateway to your agent
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
## Fast path
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.

### Android SMS Gateway

Self-hosted SMS gateway using an Android phone with HTTP API integration. Full control, no third-party dependencies.

### Overview

This skill enables sending and receiving SMS messages through an Android phone running an SMS Gateway app. The phone exposes a local HTTP API that this skill uses to send messages and check received messages.

### Supported Apps

Primary (Original Scripts)

SMS Gateway API (⭐ Recommended) - https://github.com/itsmeichigo/SMSGateway
SMSGate - https://github.com/iamsmgate/smsgate
SMS Forwarder - https://github.com/pppscn/SmsForwarder

capcom6/android-sms-gateway (New Scripts)

SMS Gateway for Android - https://github.com/capcom6/android-sms-gateway

✅ End-to-end encryption
✅ Local + Cloud + Private server modes
✅ Multi-device support
✅ Webhooks for incoming messages
✅ Multi-recipient bulk sends

### Prerequisites

Android phone with SMS capability
Install SMS Gateway app on the phone
Phone and OpenClaw host on same network (or port forwarding)
Configure app with API access enabled

### Setup (Once)

# 1. Install SMS Gateway API app on Android
# Download from: https://github.com/itsmeichigo/SMSGateway/releases

# 2. Configure the app:
# - Enable HTTP API server
# - Set API token/password
# - Note the phone's IP address and port (default: 8080)

# 3. Test connectivity
curl http://PHONE_IP:8080/api/v1/status -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"

# 4. Save configuration to TOOLS.md (see Configuration section)

### Send SMS

# Basic send
./scripts/send_sms.sh --to "+1234567890" --message "Hello from OpenClaw"

# With config file
./scripts/send_sms.sh --config ~/.openclaw/sms-gateway.json \\
  --to "+1234567890" \\
  --message "Alert: Security scan complete"

# Via environment variables
export SMS_GATEWAY_URL="http://192.168.1.100:8080"
export SMS_GATEWAY_TOKEN="your-api-token"
./scripts/send_sms.sh --to "+1234567890" --message "Test message"

### Check Received Messages

# List recent received messages
./scripts/receive_sms.sh --limit 10

# Check for new messages since timestamp
./scripts/receive_sms.sh --since "2026-02-22T00:00:00Z"

### Check Gateway Status

# Verify gateway is online
./scripts/check_status.sh

### Bulk SMS

# Send to multiple recipients
./scripts/bulk_sms.sh --recipients "+1234567890,+0987654321" --message "Broadcast message"

# From file (one number per line)
./scripts/bulk_sms.sh --recipients-file ./contacts.txt --message "Alert"

### Option 1: Environment Variables

### Save to TOOLS.md

Add your configuration to TOOLS.md for reference:

### Android SMS Gateway

- **App:** SMS Gateway API (itsmeichigo/SMSGateway)
- **Phone:** Samsung Galaxy, IP: 192.168.1.100
- **Port:** 8080
- **Token:** Stored in ~/.openclaw/sms-gateway.json (chmod 600)

### API Reference

See references/api_reference.md for detailed API endpoints for each supported app.

### Network Security

LAN only: Keep gateway on local network when possible
Firewall: Restrict access to gateway port
HTTPS: Use HTTPS if exposing externally (requires app support)
VPN: Use VPN for remote access instead of port forwarding

### capcom6-Specific Security

FeatureBenefitE2E EncryptionMessage content encrypted before API transitPrivate ServerDeploy your own backend (no cloud dependency)Basic AuthStandard HTTP authenticationWebhooksIncoming messages pushed directly from device

Recommendation: Use capcom6's private server mode for maximum security:
https://docs.sms-gate.app/getting-started/private-server/

### Authentication

Strong tokens: Use random API tokens (32+ chars)
Token rotation: Rotate tokens periodically
File permissions: chmod 600 ~/.openclaw/sms-gateway.json

### Rate Limiting

Avoid spam: Implement sending limits in your workflows
Carrier limits: Respect SMS carrier rate limits (~1 msg/sec)
Queue system: Use queue for bulk sends

### Gateway Not Responding

# Check phone connectivity
ping PHONE_IP

# Check API endpoint
curl -v http://PHONE_IP:8080/api/v1/status

# Check app is running (on phone)
# - Open SMS Gateway app
# - Verify server is started
# - Check logs in app

### Authentication Failed

# Verify token
curl -v http://PHONE_IP:8080/api/v1/status -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"

# Check token format (some apps use different auth headers)
# See references/api_reference.md for app-specific auth

### Message Not Sent

# Check phone signal
# Check SMS balance/plan
# Check app logs
# Verify recipient number format (include country code)

### Security Alert System

# Send alert when scan detects issues
./scripts/send_sms.sh --to "+1234567890" \\
  --message "🛡️ ALERT: Vulnerability found on 192.168.1.50"

### Two-Factor Auth Codes

# Send 2FA code (integrate with your auth system)
CODE=$(openssl rand -base64 6 | tr -d '/+=' | head -c 6)
./scripts/send_sms.sh --to "$USER_PHONE" \\
  --message "Your verification code: $CODE"

### Scheduled Reminders

# Cron job for daily security reminder
# crontab -e
0 9 * * * /path/to/send_sms.sh --to "+1234567890" --message "Daily security check: Review logs"

### Monitoring Integration

# Nagios/Zabbix alert script
#!/bin/bash
STATUS=$1
if [ "$STATUS" != "OK" ]; then
  ./scripts/send_sms.sh --to "+1234567890" --message "MONITOR ALERT: $STATUS"
fi
