โ” About

Many SMS services and gateways support *"concatenated SMS" * (messages or messages over 160 characters).

This time, we'll show how our Java (picocli & Spring Boot) based cli, thanks to a nicely designed API make the sending of (very) long SMS look like a piece of ๐Ÿฐ.

OPT-SMS is a cli which aims is to simplify integrations & sms batch sending easier for any user who has an access to the API.

Our cli does not required any technical skill to perform usually not that easy tasks, for any kind of user on any kind of platform as it is a (Spring boot) Java based project.
