Setup Guide: Configuring Your Professional SMS Gateway

Learn how to transform your Android devices into a powerful messaging hub. This guide covers everything from initial registration to advanced list management.

1. Getting Started: Dashboard Registration

Once you register, you will access the Cloud Control Panel.

● Automatic Setup: The system instantly creates a default Branch and List for you.
● The Association PIN: Next to your list, you will find a unique PIN. Note this code carefully; it is the "key" that links your Android hardware to our cloud servers.

2. Device Requirements & Installation

● Compatibility: The GenioSms app requires Android 7.1 or higher.
● Scaling: You can install the app on multiple devices to increase sending throughput. Use the same PIN to link several phones to a single list.

3. Choosing the Right Mobile Plan

To maximize ROI and ensure stability, we recommend:

● Unlimited SMS Plans: Use "flat-rate" SIM cards to keep sending costs near zero.
● Business/VAT Accounts: Professional mobile plans often support higher message volumes and offer better network priority for bulk delivery.

4. Verification & Free Trial Credits

The first time you launch the app, you must verify your phone number.

● Welcome Bonus: New numbers receive 100 Free Credits instantly.
● Consumption: Each outgoing SMS consumes 1 credit. All incoming messages are completely free.
