How a GoHighLevel SMS Gateway Works

Connect an Android device and mobile SIM to your GoHighLevel agency so your team can keep sending and receiving SMS inside the workflow they already know — using SIM-based transport rather than the traditional LC Phone/Twilio application-messaging route.

A simple 4-step process

From device to conversation.

The exact provisioning flow can vary by account and hardware, but the architecture stays straightforward.

1

Connect Your Android Device

Use a compatible Android phone with an active SIM and data/Wi-Fi connection.

2

Connect Your GHL Account

Authorize the integration so messaging can flow between your GHL environment and the gateway.

3

Configure Numbers & Locations

Map your connected mobile-number resources to the GHL locations you intend to support, based on the supported routing configuration.

4

Test, Warm Up & Deploy

Verify inbound/outbound delivery, reply routing, opt-out behavior, and your agency workflow before production use.

Dual-SIM capable hardware

Get more flexibility from compatible Android devices.

HighSMS supports dual-SIM capable Android devices. That can give one physical device access to two mobile-number resources. Exact routing and assignment should be validated for your deployment before promising a specific client-to-SIM topology.

  • Compatible dual-SIM Android hardware supported
  • Two carrier SIMs can live in one physical device
  • Useful for redundancy, number flexibility, and device efficiency
  • We validate your planned GHL routing before deployment
Why we're careful here: we do not market unverified “two clients per phone” claims. We confirm the actual HighSMS/GHL mapping for your use case during onboarding.

What sits on top of the gateway

Automation and engagement tools built around the transport.

Once the Android + SIM connection is in place, ASG adds tools agencies can use directly or package into client services.

AI

AI Auto-Reply + Knowledge Base

Use your own OpenAI key to support AI-assisted SMS responses and knowledge-driven interactions.

Campaigns, Scheduling + Drips

Run scheduled campaigns and automated sequences without building the entire messaging layer from scratch.

#

Keyword + Custom Variables

Capture responses and personalization data that can feed more useful automation.

URL Click Tracking

Shorten links and track engagement to give agencies more visibility into SMS performance.

6W

Warm-Up + Opt-Out Tools

Use a structured warm-up toolset and STOP/opt-out handling as part of responsible deployment.

API

API + Webhooks

Connect other agency systems through REST APIs, webhooks, and phone-verification workflows.

Onboarding checklist

We test the path before you rely on it.

Device & Connectivity

Confirm the Android gateway stays online, has carrier service, and can operate reliably in the background.

Messaging & Routing

Run inbound, outbound, reply, workflow, and STOP handling tests before production deployment.

Responsible Messaging

Use opt-in messaging, respect opt-outs, and operate within carrier fair-use and applicable legal requirements.
