Threeema Gateway is a secure messaging API for users of the Threema app, which is available for many platforms.
It is especially widespread in German-speaking countries.
Messages are end-to-end encrypted and users get it directly on the user’s phone. In contrast to SMS it is way cheaper, you can send longer messages and customize your Gateway channel (own logo, own ID).
Open-source SDKs are available.
