Telecom infrastructure for the web

Visit 46elks

46elks is an API platform that lets developers send and receive SMS, MMS, and phone calls from their applications. It addresses the need to integrate messaging and voice functionality into software without building the underlying telecom infrastructure. The platform provides a single API for these services, with documentation and support to help with integration.

The platform includes one-way and two-way SMS, photo messaging (MMS), automated phone calls, dynamic call forwarding, programmable IVR, virtual phone numbers, and realtime voice. It supports delivery reports via webhooks, full UTF-8 message content, and sending to 215 countries. Integrations are available for Zapier, GitHub Actions, Homey, Google Sheets, Sigfox, Laravel, Node-RED, Flow XO, FileMaker, and WordPress. Pricing is usage-based, with no startup fees or minimum monthly costs, and varies by country and service.
