SMS Gateway Options
Dimagi provides a set of shared SMS connections for our projects. You You can also set up your own private connections.
An overview of SMS connection options can be found here: https://dimagi.atlassian.net/wiki/x/rwfKfw.
For each project, you must select a connection that will be used. (For advanced projects, it can also be controlled per recipient phone number).
A very popular option that works in any location is to set up an Android Gateway using Telerivet and a local SIM and Android device. This is our recommended approach to setting up a gateway for CommCare. More information can be found here: Setup an Android SMS Gateway
