  @Chuck said: those are VoIP. There are companies sell those.

  Many of them are not. These guys even engineered specialized hardware to insert many SIM cards into a single hardware

  Any sources or links to that, I would love to see one of those?
  Handling physical SIM cards and dealing with coverage, roaming and international delivery just to be able to send sms must be some kind of record in stupidity. I've never seen a provider that does not provide wholesale trough API or voip so why use hardware at all? I mean, even if you use actual SIM's, eSIM has been a thing for quite some time so still no need for hardware.

  Specs: https://www.skylinecentre.com/productDateil?id=3&keyId=39

  Network: 2G

  2G and 3G have been shut down in many countries, and some have started phasing out 4G.

  Does your outdated hardware come with a time machine?

  

  spend more money then? not my hardware, i googled “bulk sms machines” and found that

  It's funny that you still don't get how insanely slow SMS modems are.

  4G modem Example:
  https://www.smseagle.eu/products/eight-modem-pro-series/#1686141979915-bf171b2d-365c

  Price: €2000

  THROUGHPUT: MAX. 240SMS/MIN

  what the fuck are you talking about? spend more money then cheapskate, i dont deal in hardware and dont give a fuck about your opinion

  Oh, so you'd rather spend as much as you can on an unsustainable, outdated solution instead of getting a direct connection like any sane person would?

  Damn, you're being really stubborn and naive.

  spend what on what?

  to what the fuck do you refer?

  Holy shit, that's the craziest thing I've seen in a long time. Never underestimate what may come out of a chinese basement somewhere.

  I don't understand the use case except for illegal spamming shit ("maximize profit").

  smartphones are very, very cheap nowadays
  its nothing new for bot farms to purchase cheap used (even broken) android phones in bulk and use them for shit like botting social media, limited product drops, maybe even sms
