What SMS Mobile App will not do

Pakistani mobile numbers only. Foreign numbers, landlines and short codes are refused, with the reason.
Each SIM has daily and hourly caps. A SIM starts at 150 messages a day and can rise to 400 as delivery reports come back. Its hourly cap is a fifth of that, 30 to 80, and a job waits at least 30 seconds between sends. The Free plan stops at 100 messages a month.
No HTTP API. Other software cannot send through it, so OTP codes and automated sends from your own system are not available.
Your SIM and carrier decide the rest. Whether a message arrives depends on them, and their SMS rate is yours to pay on top of any plan.
What you send stays your responsibility. The rules where you are, and whether those people agreed to hear from you, are not something the app can check.
