You can use WhatsApp auth message, I guess it's a bit cheaper

Don’t need it for auth. Using firebase for that. Whatsapp requires a GST number

How does one send messages programmatically without DLT registration in India. Currently using Twilio for this but 13 bucks per SMS is too high.

Send Update/Notification SMS without DLT Registration- Grapevine

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

We are working on a small app where Indians prefer to login via mobile number and OTP.
Firebase/Supabase/Appwrite only support a few OTP providers like twilio and all who seems to be expensive for the India Market.
But, there are few local players which are really cheap like 0.2Rs/SMS .
What will be your strategy on integrating these cheap providers into Supabase/firebase.

Cheap OTP providers

Software Engineer

I created a firebase app that uses phone authentication.
It works fine for the dummy registered phone number.
For other numbers, the service is unreliable with a 10% otp send success rate.

Has anyone faced this before, and solved it?

Please do share any other third party otp service you're aware of that's cheaper than twilio.

Thanks!

Firebase OTP Help!

Wanted help with writing a OTP sending mechanism and I don't mean code, I mean how to register on gupshup , how to get DLT approval etc.

Send OTP mechanism from scratch

I have created a service in node and wanted to invoke the WA API to send messages to the user. Since the volume is really low (2 messages/month) I was wondering if there is a way to accomplish this task from any free APIs available. I researched using Meta’s WA api directly but when I am trying to take the App Live it is asking for business use case and stuff where the registered business should have a website and all hence hit a blocker.

Wanted to know if their is any free API alternative available. 

Do let me know if you have come across a use case and/or applied something. 

Thanks in advance.

Looking to send whatsapp message from my service

Has anyone found a way or knows a tool that can send promotional messages over WhatsApp without using the WhatsApp API?

Any leads / workaround would be helpful.

I wanted to to know if there’s any product or company that provides APIs without having to use my Whatsapp business account?

Is there any product to send WhatsApp message without have a business account?

Use case: In my business, I own 10 Tata Ace vehicles. Now each of them requires payment for Road tax(quarterly), insurance, pollution (yearly)

It is hard for me to track the dates on a regular basis so thinking about ways in which I can setup a notification service of some type where I can receive reminders (via text / whatsapp) before the date of expiry.  

Requesting folks having experience with this type of problem to help with a solution which is cost effective and easy to implement.

Thanking the community in advance.

Help for a notification service

Fond (bitter) memories of having to pay for SMS on special days like 25th Dec, 1st Jan etc., even with unlimited SMS pack.
With the advent of social media and messaging apps, paying for SMS is majorly a thing of the past.
Any fellow nostalgia suckers here? :)

Woke up to a "Vikshit Bharat" WhatsApp message, a feedback system that should have implemented in these 10 years. Coincided perfectly with the announcement of LS election dates today.

The GOI's WhatsApp messaging isn't free; we indirectly pay for it.

With so many startups, why can't we create a political party that doesn't fail like this? 
We're out of choices, and that's why the government will likely be re-elected.

Anyone here think that the number of random sales calls have increased in the last few months ? Lately I’m being bombarded with random unsolicited calls mostly with pre-recorded messages.

Anyone know any solutions to stop receiving these calls - DnD doesn’t seem to be working

Hello everyone, We started a project to help the urban population to access real-time important notifications to make smart decisions each day and........ (something the world can't ignore it, but learn.)

Imagine this, you have access to FM radio, just as a police officer, all time in your hand and you could say anything to the entire Bangalore but only people, whom that information is relevant, will hear you instantly. 

Now, imagine everyone has the same superpower of FM radio. And, FM radio and system has ethic code doesn't let you share bad/harmful/hurtful.... All relevant information in sync with all people in the city.

Sorry, this is all I could share for now, There are more on other aspects delivering great uses but I can't. Now, throw me some questions about this. 

Is this a want or need? - Finding a single room @5K in HSR layout. Or, vehicles are towed from regular road side parking space😅. Or, searching for a CTO around🤗. (if everyone willing to join as CTO will get notified instantly from this single post on grapevine, it would be magic, right?)🤯

I will check my Gmail larp.web4@gmail.com📥 hoping to find some unconventional passion, commitment for doing the impossible, and funny as I am bored with employee/boys talk. (100% excited, enthusiastic when it comes to ideas, Strategies, team management, caring, development, marketing, inspiration, and building.)
BTW, hiring is on for major roles. The current tech lead is a good person, smart, intelligent just not enough experienced for fast paced delivery and he agreed for it.

I am currently managing an online business but all the 0 commission payment gateways have stopped onboarding (Paytm, cash free) 
My margins are thin but number of transactions are going to be a lot. 
Phonepe, razorpay take 1.8pc cut while I take 2.3pc  cost of each transaction.
It's like termite on my profit.
