Pairing

Four steps, all from your dashboard.

  1. Open Channels

    Sign in at app.smsegress.com. In Channels choose Connect Channel, then Android Device, then Pair Device.

  2. Get the app

    Download it from the Pair Device dialog. It needs Android 8 or later. There is no public download, because each install pairs with your account.

  3. Scan the code

    Generate a QR code and scan it with the app, or type the pairing code instead. A code lasts 10 minutes.

  4. Send

    The phone collects messages waiting for it, sends them through its SIM, and reports each one back as sent, delivered or failed.

Once it is paired

What the phone does for you.

  • Both directions

    The phone sends your messages and passes the SMS and MMS it receives back to SmsEgress.

  • Every SIM in the phone

    Choose the SIM for a message, route by the destination’s number prefix, or let a campaign take turns across SIMs.

  • A second SIM as backup

    Optional failover tries another SIM when the first one cannot send.

  • Your pace

    Set a random gap of up to 600 seconds between sends for each phone, or pause a phone altogether.

  • A teammate’s phone

    Invite by link lets someone else pair their own phone to your workspace.

  • Online or not

    Each phone shows as online or offline, and a webhook can tell your own systems when that changes.
