Hello all -- Very simple question -- I am curious if you can recommend a solid, reasonable, recommended SMS gateway for our project to use to send SMS's to users, most of which will initially be in Mumbai, India (but to be honest, the project may expand elsewhere in India.) Note: In fact, we won't connect this gateway to CommCare! We will connect it to a web app that we are building. But I assume that the APIs will work fine in either context. Let me know your favorite (AND any warnings or flags you think I should know about, including eye-opening issues of prices! 🙂 ) Giant thanks -- Eric ---

Hey Eric, I would look into Twilio for ease of setup and use (for outgoing messages only). In India, there are a number of restrictions around timing of messages and opting into receiving messages.

This is common when sending SMS across international borders. In the case of India, the sender... Sheel ---

Good info! Thank you! Note, we also found one called **textlocal.in** which seems quite strong, and is cheaper, and sends from inside india. Thanks for the help! ---

Hi all, To see a full list of available gateways, go to Messaging --\> SMS Connectivity in your CommCareHQ project space. This will provide a view of available gateways within your country. We also recommend reading through our documentation [Gateway Options for SMS Projects](https://dimagi.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/commcarepublic/pages/2143946671/Gateway+Options+for+SMS+Projects) for more information related to costs and considerations when selecting a gateway for your project.
