# Gateway Clients

Gateway Clients are a core part of how RelaySMS works. They are phone numbers or devices located in areas with an active internet connection that act as a bridge between offline users and online platforms.

When a user sends a message through RelaySMS without internet access, the message is delivered via SMS to a Gateway Client. The Gateway Client then forwards that message to an online server, where it is processed and published to the user’s selected platform.

Within the app, Gateway Clients are listed under the Countries tab. Users must select a gateway in a region with internet connectivity to successfully send their messages.

Gateway Clients can be set up using the DekuSMS app, and expanding their availability across different regions helps improve reliability, reduce costs, and ensure more users can stay connected during internet shutdowns.
