How to start sending messages with smsmode

Step 1 — Create your account

1. Sign up. Head to www.smsmode.com/en/ and create an account. Onboarding is self-service, so you can start immediately. New accounts include 20 free test SMS credits to test with.
2. Grab your keys. Open the dashboard and copy your credentials. smsmode uses API key generated in the smsmode account console, passed in the X-Api-Key HTTP header..

Step 2 — Send your first SMS

The fastest path is a single API call. Drop in your credentials and a destination number, then run this from your terminal:

curl --location 'https://rest.smsmode.com/sms/v1/messages' \
  --header 'X-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'Accept: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "recipient": { "to": "33600000001" },
    "body": { "text": "Hello from smsmode" }
  }'

The request hits https://rest.smsmode.com/sms/v1/messages. A 2xx response means smsmodehas accepted your message for delivery — you should see it arrive within seconds.

Step 3 — Go native with an SDK

Once the raw call works, switch to an official SDK for retries, typing and error handling.smsmode ships SDKs for TypeScript/Node.js.Full reference lives in the smsmode documentation.
