Install the CLI in one command:

curl -O https://smsmobileapi.com/downloads-cli/install-cli.sh && bash install-cli.sh

This will:

• Download the latest version of the script
• Make it available globally as smsmobileapi
• Optionally prompt for your API key and store it

Send an SMS:

smsmobileapi send --to "+32471234567" --message "Hello from server" --via sms

Send a WhatsApp message:

smsmobileapi send --to "+32471234567" --message "Hello from server" --via whatsapp

You can also provide your API key directly:

smsmobileapi send --apikey "your_api_key" --to "+32471234567" --message "With API key" --via sms

You can store your API key in a config file to avoid typing it every time.

Create a file:

nano ~/.smsmobileapi.conf

With content:

apikey=YOUR_API_KEY

Make it private:

chmod 600 ~/.smsmobileapi.conf

The script will automatically detect and use this key.

SMS and WhatsApp messages are sent directly from your own mobile phone using your own number.
There is no external gateway involved. You are in full control:

• Your number is used as the sender
• You own the logs and delivery history
• Your messages are private and traceable
• A from=ssh tag is included to mark SSH-originated messages

🧾 Response: {"success":true,"message":"SMS sent successfully"}
