neo146 provides a minimal (and experimental!) information gateway that serves as an emergency network connection method inspired by dial-up, allowing you to access content via certain protocols. The current implementations are HTTP-SMS gateway and HTTP-Markdown gateway.
The name "neo146" comes from the Turkish historic public dial-up service, which operated on dial number 146. This project is created within a few days to support the protesters during the 19 March 2025 uprising in Turkey, following the arrest of the mayor of Istanbul, Ekrem Imamoglu who is the opposition's presidential candidate.
The service is free, but running it costs about 20 EUR per month, and also 5-20 cents per message for the SMS gateway; please use responsibly. For supporting the service and a better experience, please consider donating and subscribing.
SMS responses are base64 encoded for using less SMS credits. Multiple messages are used to send longer responses, the sequence of messages is indicated in the response as GW<number>| prefix.
HTTP responses are not encoded by default, but can be requested with b64=true parameter.
