Producing SMS

One of the most widely available communication channels is text messages. Text messages are very convenient to use to distribute information.

SMS messages can be used for marketing purposes, but also as ways of alerting or sending notifications, or, very common recently, as a way of implementing two-factor authentication systems.

We will use Twilio, a service exposing an API to send SMS in an easy way.

Getting ready

We need to create an account for Twilio at https://www.twilio.com/. Go to the page and register a new account.

You'll need to follow the instructions and set up a phone number to receive messages. You'll need to input a code sent to this phone or receive a call to verify this line.
