Automatic Background Tasks
Good News: SMS sending works right now through phone polling! Background tasks are only needed for automated cleanup, retrying expired message locks, and device offline alerts.
Method 1: Web Address (Easiest)
Use any free ping service (like Cron-job.org) or cPanel to visit this URL once every 5 minutes:
Android may pause background apps when the phone is idle. In the SMS Gateway Android app, grant the "Battery Optimization (Unrestricted)" permission so Android keeps sending active 24/7.
Do I need to configure port forwarding or dynamic DNS?
No! The phone makes outbound connections to your server over standard HTTPS. No firewall configuration, port opening, or router access is required.
What happens if the phone temporarily loses signal or Wi-Fi?
Your messages remain safe in the server queue. The phone automatically retries when the Internet connection is restored.
