SMS gateway by Lacspace · Nepal
OTP and transactional SMS, sent through our own SIM pool.
Lacspace SMS sends one-time codes and account messages for Lacspace products through company SIM cards in Android phones. Every SIM has a daily pack, a reset hour and a health check; the router picks the right one and fails over when a phone or SIM can't deliver.

How a message gets out.
- 1
An app asks for an SMS
A Lacspace product (StockYatra, for example) or an activated workspace calls the SMS API with its API key: an OTP or a transactional message to a Nepal mobile number.
- 2
The router picks a SIM
The gateway looks at every pool SIM: is it enabled, is its phone heartbeating, is today's pack used up, is it paced, has its pack expired, has it been failing? Among the healthy ones it prefers a SIM on the recipient's own network (NTC to NTC, Ncell to Ncell) and saves the unlimited SIM for when the limited ones run out.
- 3
The phone sends it
Pool phones check for work every few seconds. The chosen phone picks the message up and sends it from that exact SIM — never a different one — then reports back when it is sent and, where the network supports it, delivered.
- 4
Failures move on
If a phone does not confirm in time, or reports a failure, the message moves to the next eligible SIM, and then to the next route if the whole pool is out. Every attempt is kept in the message's history.

Staff watch it here
This portal shows each SIM's quota for today, each phone's heartbeat, battery, network and app version, and the sent / delivered / failed / fallback counts per SIM and route — with the full log one click away.
Company SIMs
Each SIM is a normal prepaid or business SIM with a daily SMS pack (for example 100 a day). One business SIM is unlimited.
Android phones
Each phone holds one or two SIMs and runs the Lacspace SMS app, which picks up messages assigned to its SIMs, sends them and reports status.
Daily windows
Every SIM has its own reset hour in Nepal time, matching when its pack renews, so quota is counted per pack day — not per calendar day.
Health
A SIM is OK, Paced, Quota used, Stale, Pack expired, Failing or Disabled. Only OK SIMs are picked; the reason is always shown.
Security, in plain words.
Phone-number sign-in with one-time codes, tokens the page can never read, workspace isolation enforced on the server, device keys shown once, OTP codes never logged.
Questions, answered.
- What is Lacspace SMS?
- Lacspace's own SMS gateway for OTP and transactional messages in Nepal, plus this portal. Messages are sent through a pool of company SIM cards in Android phones, with automatic failover between SIMs and routes.
- Who can use it?
- Lacspace products, and workspaces that Lacspace has activated. Anyone can sign in with a phone number and create a workspace; it stays pending until Lacspace reviews and activates it.
- How do I sign in?
- With your mobile number. We send a 6-digit code by SMS — or by WhatsApp or email when SMS isn't possible for your number. The code lasts 5 minutes and allows 5 tries. There are no passwords.
- Which numbers can it send to?
- Nepal mobile numbers (NTC, Ncell and Smart). Numbers are shown and stored in the national 98XXXXXXXX form.
- Can I see the OTP codes that were sent?
- No. Logs show that an OTP went out, when, through which SIM and whether it was delivered, but never the code itself.
- What times does the portal show?
- Nepal time (Asia/Kathmandu, UTC+05:45), everywhere.
