Bypassing the "SMS Gateway is Sending a Large Number of Messages" Alert on Android

Why Does This Happen?

Many Android devices have a built-in restriction that prevents users from sending more than 30 SMS messages within a 30-minute window. When this limit is exceeded, you’ll receive a warning notification. Fortunately, it is possible to modify these settings manually to bypass this restriction.

Step 1: Enable USB Debugging

To adjust this limit, you first need to enable USB Debugging on your Android device.


  1. Access Developer Options

    • Open Settings and scroll down to About Phone.

    • Locate the Build Number entry (usually at the bottom) and tap it several times until you see a message confirming that Developer Mode has been enabled.
  2. Enable USB Debugging

    • Go back to Settings, scroll down, and open Developer Options.
    • If you're using Android 9 (Pie) or later, this will be under System → Advanced.
    • Find the USB Debugging option under the Debugging section and enable it.
  3. Disable Permission Monitoring (If Available)

    • Some devices also have an option labeled Disable Permission Monitoring within Developer Options. If you see it, turn it on to prevent further restrictions.
Step 2: Install ADB Drivers (If Needed)

Before connecting your phone to your computer, you may need to install the ADB (Android Debug Bridge) driver. If your computer doesn’t recognize your device, download and install the required driver from an official source.


Step 3: Modify the SMS Limit

  1. Connect Your Phone to Your Computer


    • Use a USB cable to connect your Android phone to a Windows PC.

    • When prompted on your phone, allow USB Debugging for this computer. This ensures that only trusted computers can access debugging features.
  2. Download and Run the SMS Limit Modification Tool

    • Download the required zip file here.
    • Extract the contents to any folder on your computer.
    • Open the increase-sms-limit folder and run the increase-sms-limit.bat file by double-clicking it.

This process should raise your device’s SMS limit high enough to prevent the warning from appearing.


Important Notes

  • This method may not work on all devices due to manufacturer restrictions or software limitations.

  • If it doesn’t work, unfortunately, there are no alternative solutions available.
