In their own words
BulkGate
BulkGate is an SMS gateway for businesses sending and receiving messages for campaigns, notifications, and verification codes. Its toolkit includes bulk SMS, automated notifications, OTP verification, two-way messaging, and SMS with landing pages. BulkGate says the gateway connects to mobile networks in more than 200 countries. Delivery features include direct carrier connections, smart routing, real-time tracking, automatic retries, and delivery reports. Businesses can connect through a REST API, web portal, or ready-made plugins. Listed integrations include WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Shoptet, OpenCart, Magento, Zapier, Make, and Drupal; API materials include a sandbox and code samples in multiple languages. The SMS service uses pay-as-you-go pricing without setup fees or monthly commitments, and the maker says purchased credits have unlimited validity subject to terms. The listed United Kingdom rate is €0.03, paid once, billed at €0.0301 per SMS excluding VAT; rates vary by country, operator, and volume. Android Mobile Connect requires an active phone, is supported on Android 9 and above, and may delay or fail to send when the device enters sleep mode.
