LOX24 means quality

Delivery quality, availability, and data protection

Worldwide availability

With a single connection, you can reach 880 networks worldwide through us, and with them almost every mobile phone.

Consistently high quality

Ensuring delivery quality is our top priority. A proactive quality assurance system detects problems and proactively uses redundancies before they affect you.

European data protection

Our service meets all GDPR requirements. At the same time, we are also subject to telecommunications law in Europe. The confidentiality of telecommunications is fully guaranteed.

European servers

Our infrastructure runs exclusively on servers in Europe. This lets us guarantee the highest quality and security for your SMS.

AI Agents & MCP

Send SMS directly from AI agents

With the LOX24 MCP server, AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini can send SMS and voice messages through the LOX24 SMS gateway. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI applications use external services. This allows the agent to carry out simple tasks on its own, such as “Send the on-call team an SMS saying that server 3 is unreachable.” Messages run on the same infrastructure as the SMS API: 880 networks worldwide, servers exclusively in Europe, GDPR-compliant.

  • Send SMS — Send text messages to mobile numbers worldwide
  • Send voice message — Have text read aloud as a call (text-to-speech)
  • Retrieve incoming SMS — Read replies and messages from the inbox
  • Check balance — retrieve current account balance

SMS API

SMS API for PHP, Python, Java, Go, C#, JavaScript

Our SMS API is compatible with all modern programming languages. With curl, you can easily use our HTTP interface in PHP and send SMS.

api.lox24.eu/sms
curl -X POST https://api.lox24.eu/sms \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'X-LOX24-AUTH-TOKEN: 1234567:e3f3a759b6…' \
  -d '{
    "sender_id": "My Sender",
    "phone": "+49751234567",
    "service_code": "direct",
    "text": "Test message",
    "delivery_at": 1573724611,
    "is_unicode": true,
    "callback_data": "123456",
    "voice_lang": "DE"
}'

A single curl call is enough – send JSON data to the /sms endpoint, with the authentication token included in the header.

api.lox24.eu/sms
'My Sender',
    'text'         => "First line\nSecond line",
    'service_code' => 'direct',
    'phone'        => '+49751234567',
    'is_unicode'   => true,
]);

$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, [
    CURLOPT_POST           => true,
    CURLOPT_URL            => $uri,
    CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS     => $body,
    CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER     => [
        "X-LOX24-AUTH-TOKEN: {$token}",
        'Content-Type: application/json',
    ],
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
]);

$response = curl_exec($curl);
$code = curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
curl_close($curl);

if (201 === $code) {
    echo 'Success';
}

With curl, you can use our HTTP interface in PHP and send SMS with just a few lines.

api.lox24.eu/sms
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"encoding/json"
	"net/http"
)

func main() {
	const URL = "https://api.lox24.eu/sms"
	const Token = "1234567:e3f3a759b6677959b6ebfc…"

	payload := map[string]interface{}{
		"sender_id":    "My Sender",
		"phone":        "+49751234567",
		"service_code": "direct",
		"text":         "Test message",
		"is_unicode":   true,
	}

	body, _ := json.Marshal(payload)
	req, _ := http.NewRequest("POST", URL, bytes.NewBuffer(body))
	req.Header.Add("X-LOX24-AUTH-TOKEN", Token)
	req.Header.Add("Content-Type", "application/json")

	res, err := (&http.Client{}).Do(req)
	if err != nil {
		return
	}
	defer res.Body.Close()
}

In Go, you only need the „net/http“ and „encoding/json“ packages to send your SMS to the gateway.

api.lox24.eu/sms
using Newtonsoft.Json;
using System;
using System.Net;

string key = "1234567:e3f3a759b6677959b6ebfc…";
string url = "https://api.lox24.eu/sms";

var data = new {
    sender_id    = "My Sender",
    text         = "Test message",
    service_code = "direct",
    phone        = "+49751234567",
    is_unicode   = true
};

string postdata = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(data);

var req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
req.ContentType = "application/json; charset=utf-8";
req.Accept = "application/json";
req.Method = "POST";
req.Headers.Add("X-LOX24-AUTH-TOKEN", key);

using (var w = new StreamWriter(req.GetRequestStream()))
{
    w.Write(postdata);
}

using (var resp = (HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse())
{
    if (resp.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.Created)
        Console.WriteLine("Success: sms resource created");
}

WebRequest.Create handles this for you and sends the most important data of your SMS to our gateway.

api.lox24.eu/sms
import requests

token = "1234567:e3f3a759b6677959b6ebfc…"
url   = "https://api.lox24.eu/sms"

data = {
    "sender_id":    "My Sender",
    "text":         "Test message",
    "service_code": "direct",
    "phone":        "+49751234567",
    "is_unicode":   True,
}

headers = {
    "Accept": "application/json",
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "X-LOX24-AUTH-TOKEN": token,
}

res = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data, timeout=100)

if res.status_code == 201:
    print("Success: sms resource created")
else:
    print(f"Error: code {res.status_code}")

Python offers you several options – urllib, Requests, Octopus or HTTPie all work with the same endpoint.

api.lox24.eu/sms
package eu.lox24.doc.sms;

import org.json.JSONObject;
import java.net.URI;
import java.net.http.*;
import java.time.Duration;

var key = "1234567:e3f3a759b6677959b6ebfc…";
var url = "https://api.lox24.eu/sms";

var json = new JSONObject();
json.put("sender_id", "My Sender");
json.put("text", "Test message");
json.put("service_code", "direct");
json.put("phone", "+49751234567");
json.put("is_unicode", true);

var request = HttpRequest.newBuilder(URI.create(url))
        .timeout(Duration.ofMillis(100000))
        .setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8")
        .setHeader("X-LOX24-AUTH-TOKEN", key)
        .POST(HttpRequest.BodyPublishers.ofString(json.toString()))
        .build();

var response = HttpClient.newHttpClient()
        .send(request, HttpResponse.BodyHandlers.ofString());

if (response.statusCode() == 201) {
    System.out.println("Success: sms resource created");
}

The Java HttpClient sends your JSON data and keeps the connection alive between requests.

api.lox24.eu/sms
const token = "1234567:e3f3a759b6677959b6ebfc…";

const payload = JSON.stringify({
  sender_id:    "My Sender",
  text:         "Test message",
  service_code: "direct",
  phone:        "+49751234567",
  is_unicode:   true,
});

const res = await fetch("https://api.lox24.eu/sms", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Accept": "application/json",
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "X-LOX24-AUTH-TOKEN": token,
  },
  body: payload,
});

if (res.status === 201) {
  console.log("Success: sms resource created");
}

In Node.js, the built-in `fetch` function sends your payload directly to the SMS API.

A top provider when it comes to services! I use this service in my practice to remind clients of their appointments. It's an enormous help in reducing the no-show rate. Clients are very grateful for this service, and I'm glad the appointments are being kept ;-). Setup was easy, and so far all SMS have been sent at exactly the desired time.

At LOX24, an SMS to Germany costs 6.9 to 8.0 cents per SMS, depending on the sending method and pricing tier. Text2Speech costs 6.5 to 7.0 cents. The more credit you top up, the lower the price. You can find the prices for all countries in the Price list. All prices are net, plus VAT.

LOX24 uses prepaid credit, and you pay per message sent. The rate depends on the amount of your last top-up: S from €40, M from €145, L from €400, and XL from €900. Optional services such as link tracking or reply SMS cost a small surcharge. Large customers can also switch to monthly invoicing.

No. LOX24 does not charge a base fee, setup fee, or minimum spend for SMS sending under prepaid billing. There is no contract term, and you can cancel your account at any time without notice.
