Emulate TextLocal

Learn how to quickly modify your existing TextLocal API calls to send SMS messages using the SMS Gateway Emulator app. With minimal code changes, you can switch from TextLocal services to our app, saving costs and gaining full control over your SMS gateway.

• Outbound SMS messages supported. Multiple recipients are supported.

There are 2 ways to emulate TextLocal API.

1. Change the API url directly.

2. Via our Proxy Server.

Whatever you do, make sure to change the API_KEY to EMULATOR_API_KEY, and set EMULATOR_SENDER_ID.
