To set up an Android SMS Gateway to work with Spinoco, you will need the following: 

• a SIM card enabled for sending SMS
• an Android phone with Android 7.0 or higher (before purchasing a device, please check with your Spinoco contact person to confirm compatibility)
  • This phone will be a dedicated phone for SMS Gateway; you should therefore ensure that:
    • It has uninterrupted access to the internet (4G or Wifi)
    • It stays connected to a charger, or you otherwise ensure it doesn't run out of battery
    • The phone is not used otherwise (e.g., to place phone calls)

1) Start the setup process by navigating to the Google Play Store on your Android phone and searching for "Spinoco SMS Gateway." Install the application.

2) Once installed, open the application.

5) Hit the blue "+" button in the top right corner.
