Why Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)?
Traditional SMS providers like Twilio charge up to $0.05 to $0.10 per SMS in countries like Bangladesh, India, Kenya, or Nigeria. Meanwhile, local telecom carriers (Grameenphone, Banglalink, Safaricom, MTN) offer unlimited or ultra-low-cost SMS bundles (e.g. 10,000 SMS for $3.00, or $0.0003 per SMS).
SmsNova bridges your cloud backend to your physical SIM cards. You get the developer experience of Twilio (clean REST APIs, webhooks, delivery reports) combined with the extreme cost savings and personal SIM capabilities of your own hardware.
