Frequently asked questions
Twilio gives you guaranteed carrier-grade throughput. If you're sending a million 2FA codes a day, use Twilio. If you're sending 500-50,000/mo and want to keep the money, use textbee.
Yes it's legal. No, your SIM won't get banned if you use it like a human. Sending SMS from your own phone over your own plan is legal anywhere SMS is. Stay within your carrier's fair-use policy (usually 200-500/day on consumer SIMs) and you're fine. Carriers don't ban SIMs for sending, they ban patterns that look like spam. Sending higher volume? register multiple devices and SIMs to distribute the load.
No. textbee sends from the SIM in your own phone, so there is nothing to provision: no number to rent, no brand or campaign registration (10DLC), no sender ID application. Consent rules still apply wherever you send, so keep a record of consent and honor STOP.
Yes, you can cancel your Pro subscription at any time. If you cancel, you'll still have access to Pro features until the end of your billing period. We also offer a 7-day money-back guarantee for new Pro subscriptions.
The Pro plan allows you to connect up to 5 active Android devices simultaneously, which helps distribute your message load and provides redundancy if one device goes offline. If you need more devices, reach out to us.
You can send to many recipients in a single request, and your plan quota is what governs the total. Worth knowing: your own Android phone sends the messages, one at a time with a short pause between each, so a large batch is delivered steadily over time rather than all at once. Your bulk send limit is shown on the billing page in your dashboard.
No, you cannot customize the sender ID. Messages are sent using your device's phone number and SIM card, so recipients will see your phone number as the sender. Brand names or custom sender IDs are not supported.
No, textbee.dev currently works only on Android devices. Apple's iOS restrictions prevent the installation of custom SMS messaging apps, so iPhone support is not available at this time.
textbee.dev requires Android 7.0 (Nougat) or higher. Make sure your device meets this requirement before installing the app.
Yes! You can receive real-time notifications for SMS status updates (sent, delivered, failed) using webhooks. Configure webhooks in your dashboard to automatically receive notifications when these events occur. You can also check message status from the dashboard.
Yes, you can receive SMS messages sent to your device's phone number. Enable SMS receiving in the app settings, then retrieve messages via the API or set up webhooks for real-time notifications when messages are received.
