Quick share of something that worked for me.
Instead of using Twilio + A2P (slow and expensive), I connected real Android phones directly to GoHighLevel sub-accounts.
Each subaccount uses one SIM, and SMS are sent from the real number.
Setup is simple :
1 - Connect the phone to a GHL sub-account
2 - Start sending/reciving SMS immediately
I then offered this setup to clients:
- Each client connects their own phone
- Monthly fee per phone/account
This alone generated $7,000+ in additional revenue in one month.
I used SMS8 to connect the phones, but the main idea is using real numbers instead of A2P.
Hope this helps anyone stuck with SMS limitations in GHL.
