Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built Simscribe because I kept running into the same problem: SMS APIs charge per message, but most of us already own an Android phone with an active SIM plan just sitting unused. So I built a way to turn that phone into a controllable SMS gateway — pair it with a QR code, then send messages via a dashboard or a REST API, with delivery tracking and webhooks for automation. It's still early — I'm the only one working on this — so I'd genuinely love your feedback: Does the pricing make sense for what it does? Is there a use case you'd want that's missing? Anything that feels confusing or off? Happy to answer anything in the comments today. Thanks for checking it out 🙏
