What Jasmin SMS Gateway is
Jasmin SMS Gateway is an open-source gateway for businesses building customized messaging services. It sends and receives SMS over HTTP and SMPP, with client and server components for each protocol. Routing can use static rules, round-robin, failover, or least-cost selection. It handles Unicode and binary messages, including WAP Push and vCards, as well as concatenated multipart SMS; it supports two-way SMS but not MMS. Its HTTP API covers sending, receiving, delivery notifications, monitoring metrics, and balance and rate checks. The REST API supports single- and multi-destination sending, bulk messaging, and balance and route checks. Jasmin relies on Python 3, RabbitMQ, and Redis, with Linux packages, Docker, and PyPI installation documented. Package support is listed for Ubuntu 20.04 and newer and RHEL or CentOS 8 and newer. The gateway is free under Apache License 2.0, while the web backend is commercially licensed. Operators set message rates and their units; Jasmin does not enforce a currency.
