Australian SMS / prepaid API

One clear route from your API to an Australian handset.

Queue operational messages for +61 mobiles, watch the handset rail, and pay with prepaid credits. AussieSMS shows where a message is without pretending that a send attempt is a delivery receipt.

  • One credit per queued SMS request
  • API key and dashboard workflows
  • Handset-backed Australian rail

The signal route

Know the boundary at every hand-off.

The useful question is not “did the API return 200?” It is which system owns the message now. AussieSMS keeps request, queue, device, and carrier-attempt states separate.

01QUEUED

The request passed validation and entered the SMS queue.

02CLAIMED

A connected Android gateway has taken responsibility for the row.

03SENT

The handset reported a carrier send attempt. This is not a delivery receipt.

04FAILED

The gateway could not complete the send attempt. Inspect the failure detail.

One product, two desks

Built for integration and operation.

Developers get a compact request contract. Operators get the queue, device heartbeat, message history, and credit ledger needed to investigate what happened next.

Prices are shown in Australian dollars. A credit is deducted when an authenticated request is accepted into the queue. Queued and sent do not guarantee carrier delivery.

Use the rail responsibly

Permission comes before throughput.

Only message people who expect to hear from you. Identify your organisation, keep consent records, and honour opt-out requests. AussieSMS provides transport and operational visibility; it does not turn an unsolicited message into a lawful one.

Straight answers

Before you connect the first message.

Does “sent” mean the recipient received it?

No. Sent means the Android gateway reported a carrier send attempt. A delivery receipt is a separate event and is not available for every message.

Can I send a test SMS from this marketing page?

No. Public unauthenticated sends are disabled. Create an account, use the authenticated send flow, and only message a number you are authorised to contact.

Is AussieSMS a NearMe directory site?

No. It is a NearMe network infrastructure product. Directory, listing, claims, and advertising controls do not apply to this product by default.
