Creating an SMS application with Parse now outdated?

I am trying to start developing an Android application with basic SMS capabilities. I understand that I have to have a server client in addition to the mobile application. My question is are there any free servers like Parse to run this through and are their any guides or books on how to get started with this specific kind of app?

An alternative to Parse that you can try is Firebase. It's similar to Parse and also has a free option for you to try out.
