This plugin requires an OnlineSMS account. After registration and account validation, you receive 100 free SMS credits for testing. Additional SMS credits can be purchased from onlinesms.ro.
SMS messages are sent directly from your Android phone using your own number — no third-party SMS gateway needed.
Key features:

– Configure SMS templates per order status.
– Round-robin device selection when multiple devices are selected.
– Log SMS attempts for the last 30 days.
External services
This plugin connects to the OnlineSMS API to send transactional SMS messages from your Android phone when WooCommerce order statuses change.
What data is sent and when:
When a WooCommerce order status changes to an enabled status, the plugin sends the following data to the OnlineSMS API at https://app.onlinesms.ro/api/:
– Recipient phone number (billing phone from the order).
– SMS message content (generated from your configured template, which may include order number, status, totals, and customer name).
– Selected device ID (the Android device that will physically send the SMS).
Data is sent only when an enabled order status event triggers an SMS. No data is sent in any other circumstance.
