Zius is a messaging and marketing platform that helps businesses send and manage SMS and WhatsApp campaigns using connected Android devices. By turning Android phones into SMS gateways, the service offers an alternative to third-party messaging gateways and lets users make use of their network providers’ SMS plans. Its tools support bulk and quick messaging, contact groups, scheduled campaigns, and live delivery and receipt updates.

Zius also provides automation features designed to streamline communications. Users can set up auto-replies, webhooks, and actions triggered by incoming messages or device notifications, and use USSD requests for network-related tasks such as checking an account balance. Additional tools include message shortcodes, Spintax, and translation options for reaching audiences in different languages.

The platform offers Starter, Professional, and Enterprise plans, with different limits for messages, contacts, Android devices, WhatsApp accounts, API keys, and automation features. Zius also invites Android device owners to become partners and earn money when their devices process messages. The service is based in Manila, Philippines.
