We’re a tiny team of 2–9 engineers who believe business messaging should be simple, reliable, and accessible to everyone. Today we’re officially opening up BulkSMSOnline to the Dev.to community, and we’d love your feedback.
What’s BulkSMSOnline?
A global bulk SMS platform that lets you send campaigns, alerts, OTPs, and notifications via:
- A clean web portal
- A REST API
- An HTTP API
It’s designed for developers who want reliable global delivery without fighting arcane telecom protocols or opaque pricing.
Why We Built It
We noticed a pattern: most SMS platforms either overcomplicate things with bloated SDKs or hide behind enterprise gatekeepers that don’t listen. We wanted something different a lean, transparent API backed by real people who actually care about your deliverability.
So we built BulkSMSOnline around three principles:
- Reliability: Messages must arrive, every time.
- Radical simplicity: A clean API you can integrate in minutes.
- Transparency: Honest pricing, clear limits, no surprises.
Quick Start: Send an SMS in Under 5 Minutes
Here’s how simple it is with our REST API. For full docs, check out our developer portal.
curl -X POST https://api.bulksmsonline.com/v1/sms \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"to": "+1234567890",
"message": "Hello from BulkSMSOnline!",
"sender": "MyApp"
}'
You’ll get a JSON response with a message ID and status. That’s it. No multi-page setup or carrier negotiations.
What else can you do?
Send bulk messages with a single API call
Track delivery in real time via webhooks
Pull reports programmatically
Use our HTTP API for legacy systems
Who’s Behind This?
We’re a small, agile team (2–9 people). That means:
No bureaucracy: Fixes and features ship fast.
Direct access: When you email support, you reach the engineers who built the platform.
Your feedback shapes our roadmap: Many of our recent features came from developer conversations.
Tech stack we love: Python, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and telecom protocols (SMPP). We’re generalists who went deep on messaging, and we’re always learning.
Our values:
Reliability above all
Simplicity is a feature
Transparency builds trust
We treat your messages like our own
Never stop learning
Let’s Collaborate
We’re open to:
API integration chats
Guest posts on SMS and messaging tech
Co-building developer tools
Honest feedback (the harsher, the more useful)
Say Hey! here in the comments or ping us directly. We’d love to hear what you’re building, what frustrates you about current SMS APIs, or just swap war stories about telco quirks.
