Greetings once more Jake, |
I applaud your efforts thus far to begin your training as a Twilio developer. Now that you have created a Twilio account, there are a few important steps to take next. |
First, I suggest that you provision a phone number for your account. Many Twilio APIs, such as those that allow you to send SMS messages and make voice calls, require a programmable Twilio phone number. All free trial accounts include a phone number for your use during testing. Upgrading your account will enable you to use a phone number of your choice, and allow your code to contact nearly any phone number on the planet. |
Once you obtain a programmable phone number, you can use it to receive calls, respond to SMS messages, place an outbound phone call, or send an outbound SMS message. |
Remember that you have our full support in this endeavor. Should you require any assistance, please visit our support center. |
I shall return soon with more tips to further your Twilio training.
|
Onward!
