Building VirtualSMS β SMS verification for AI agents
Hey IH π Building VirtualSMS β SMS verification API with real SIM-backed numbers (not VoIP), built-in MCP server for AI agents, x402 stablecoin payments. Bootstrapped, remote-first. Today shipped to ~9 backlink directories in one focused session. Excited to share more learnings here as we go.
About
All SMS APIs were either VoIP (blocked by services that matter) or legacy formats AI agents can't use. We needed real SIMs, found nothing, built it. REST API + MCP from day one.

Derrick β "found nothing, built it" is the best validation story. Real SIMs vs VoIP is a clear technical moat that actually matters to buyers.
At $2.5K/mo you've proven the demand. The next question is whether your landing page and signup flow converts at the rate the product deserves β API tools like this often lose developers at the docs or pricing page before they ever try it.
I run conversion audits for founders β find exactly where that drop-off happens. Happy to take a look.
