SMS Tech is an open-source (Apache-2.0) Android app by Patrice Haltaya. The APK we host is 12 MB, it needs Android 8.0 or newer, and it declares 25 permissions.
The file on this page is SMS Tech 1.28.14, 11.97 MB, and it installs on Android 8.0 and newer.
We compared the signing certificate of this build with the certificate recorded the first time com.filestech.sms entered the site, and published both the file's SHA-256 and the certificate's fingerprint above so you can check the download yourself. That comparison says the file was not repackaged by someone else; it is not a review of what the app does.
The manifest inside the APK declares 25 permissions, including access to sending SMS messages, your SMS messages, your contacts, phone state, the microphone, precise location and approximate location. Android asks you to approve those the first time the app needs them.
Its licence is Apache-2.0. We took this build from F-Droid, and the source for this exact version is linked below.
We do not show a star rating or an install count for this page: we have no measured figure for either, and a number we cannot source is worth less than an empty field.

We check that this file carries the same signing certificate as earlier releases of the same package. That shows the APK was not repackaged by someone else — it is not a security review of the app.
