NT RMS is an iOS app developed by Waft Technology Pvt. Ltd. in collaboration with Koheen Technologies Pvt. Ltd. for the Nepal Telecom Power Department, Nepal as a mobile solution for the Remote Monitoring System (RMS). This app will be used by the engineers, support personnel and managers of the Nepal Telecom Power Department across Nepal. This app displays the real-time status of electronic equipment installed at various sites. The status of Mains Supply, Load, Generators, Battery voltage, Room temperature, and humidity are the key indicators. This app provides a visual way and search facility to quickly find out the status of the system. It also provides real-time push notifications to the users in case of critical conditions like when the battery voltage is dropping, Mains Supply is off etc. While most of the administrative tasks can be performed in the web portal, this app is crucial to get real-time updates on the go. We hope this app will help the telecom engineers to properly monitor the system and take actions when needed.

SMS8 lets you send text messages from the SIM already in your iPhone & iPad, composed from your computer instead of your handset. Write a message in your SMS8 dashboard — or trigger it from your own CRM or application through the SMS8 API — and your paired phone sends it as a normal text from your real number. Your customer sees the number they already have saved for you, and they can reply to it the way they'd reply to anyone.

Nothing is rented, rerouted or rebranded — no shared short codes, no unfamiliar sender IDs, and no per-message gateway pricing layered on top of the plan you already pay for. WHAT SMS8 DOES NOT ACCESS SMS8 does not read, receive or intercept incoming messages SMS8 does not access your call log SMS8 does not read your device contacts — contacts live in your SMS8 account, added by you No ads, no third-party trackers, no analytics SDKs PERMISSIONS SMS8 requests one sensitive permission: sending SMS. It is used only to dispatch the messages you create in your own account. You'll see an in-app explanation before the request, and you can decline. A foreground service keeps the send queue running while the app is in the background. WHY PICK SMS8 Your own phone number, not a shared short code Sends on your existing SIM plan API and webhooks for your own applications Works with the phone you already carry — no extra hardware Small, focused app SUPPORT Email support@sms8.io or open a ticket in your account.
