Ask HN: SMS and MMS Testing Platform?

I want to be able to test a messaging application by sending and receiving MMS and SMS from carriers (ATT, TMO, VZN) regularly throughout the day. So far I have encountered different problems with different solutions. 1.Building an android app that sends and receives messages and a server that checks the status of everything and reports it. Problem: Eventually the batteries expand on the phones and I cant find any modern phones that can run w/o a battery 2. Using https://smseagle.eu/store/en/devices/28-smseagle-nxs-9700-4g.html.
