Open Platform: SMS FoxBox

SMS FoxBox is not a closed appliance.

It’s an on-premise, open, and fully integrable SMS gateway, built to fit your infrastructure—not force you into someone else’s roadmap.

With FoxBox you get:

• a complete Linux-based platform,

• guaranteed root access,

• publicly available source code,

• modern, well-documented APIs.

The result: faster integrations, zero lock-in, and maximum flexibility.

Open by design — no vendor lock-in

Many hardware SMS gateways are reliable but closed:

when you need a special workflow, a custom protocol, or a new integration, you’re stuck waiting for the vendor.

FoxBox removes that limit:

• you can audit how the system works,

• you can extend it with your own developers,

• you can integrate any internal software without depending on a proprietary roadmap,

• you can keep evolving the platform over time.

If an integration doesn’t exist today, it’s not a blocker:

with open code and root access you can build it yourself—or with us—without waiting on closed-box updates.

Hybrid integration: local SIMs and/or cloud providers

FoxBox is a true hybrid SMS gateway:

• send/receive via standard local SIM cards,

• or route traffic through external SMS aggregators such as:

  • Twilio

  • Infobip

  • and many others both SMPP 3.X, HTTP and SMSC protocols

So you can always choose the best path:

• local SIMs for independence and predictable costs,

• cloud providers for scalability or international coverage.

---

Ready-to-use integrations

FoxBox is designed to plug into real business workflows from day one.

Out of the box you can connect it to the most common monitoring, security, ITSM, and automation platforms—and if something isn’t listed, it can be integrated quickly through APIs, webhooks, or custom code on the box (open source + root access).

APIs, Webhooks & Custom Integrations (Open Advantage)

For developers and system integrators:

• Modern REST APIs with code samples (curl / Python / PHP / Node) 

• Incoming message & delivery-status webhooks to any HTTP/HTTPS endpoint 

• 100% compatible with previous FoxBox generations → legacy customers upgrade with zero friction.

Anything that can call an API can integrate with FoxBox, for example:

• Grafana Alerting, Prometheus Alertmanager, Loki, Elastic/ELK pipelines

• Jira / Confluence / Bitbucket automations

• GitLab / GitHub actions & CI/CD alerts

• Kubernetes / OpenShift notifications

• Home-grown ERP/SCADA/IoT backends

• Any low-code platform able to do HTTP requests (Make, Retool, Power Automate, etc.)

And if you need something specific:

• install your own libraries,

• run custom scripts,

• add internal endpoints or middleware,

• integrate proprietary protocols,

• deploy your services directly on the box.

Why?

Because you have guaranteed root access and the source code is open. The platform is yours.
