  • Super good plugin

    This plugin add´s a really good feature with two factor authentication trough sms, very easy to setup and configure. Works without any app just simple sms so everybody can use it. Good feature is that you can also configure how often you need to verify login with sms.

  • Exellent Plugin

    Have tried several free and premium sms plugins for WordPress, this one was by far the most stable and feature rich

  • Just works

    If you want to send SMS'es from WordPress and manage a list of recipients, perhaps even group them, then this plugin is excellent. It's simple and it just works. Also a nice touch that you get €2 free of send-credit. Should get most people started as the GatewayAPI.com in general has some quite competitive pricing.
