Forgive a bit of ignorance on this, but it seems cool and I want some clarifying questions.

If I want to send SMS to a bunch of people, can I hook this into a self-hosted Asterisk server or something? Or does this have its own SMS gateway? Or am I forced to use a third party dealio like Twilio?

Maybe I misunderstand, but how would you send SMS via an Asterisk server? Wouldn't you need an SMS gateway in the end anyway?

Yes, sorry, you would need some kind of TCP gateway or a SIM card.

We have support for twilio natively since that's one of the popular options, but we also support webhooks as a channel, so if your Asterisk server has an HTTP endpoint that can trigger messages it would be compatible.
