Laravel	^11.0 \| ^12.0 \| ^13.0
Fast2SMS account	Sign up free

Step 1 — Install via Composer

composer require itxshakil/laravel-fast2sms

Step 2 — Auto-Discovery

Laravel automatically discovers the service provider and facade. No manual registration is needed for Laravel 11+.

Manual Registration (optional)

If you have disabled package auto-discovery, add the following to config/app.php:

'providers' => [
    // ...
    Shakil\Fast2sms\Fast2smsServiceProvider::class,
],

'aliases' => [
    // ...
    'Fast2sms' => Shakil\Fast2sms\Facades\Fast2sms::class,
],

Step 3 — Publish Configuration

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=fast2sms-config

This creates config/fast2sms.php in your application.

Step 4 — Set Your API Key

Add your Fast2SMS API key to .env:

FAST2SMS_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

You can find your API key in the Fast2SMS developer panel.

Step 5 — (Optional) Publish Migrations

If you want to log SMS sends to the database, publish and run the migrations:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=fast2sms-migrations
php artisan migrate

Then enable database logging in .env:

FAST2SMS_DATABASE_LOGGING=true

Local Development

For local development, use the log driver to avoid making real API calls:

FAST2SMS_DRIVER=log

All sends will be written to your Laravel log instead of hitting the Fast2SMS API.
