This course will walk you through Twilio's communication APIs. Twilio provides a link between the internet and telecom networks. Developers can use Twilio to add communication to their applications programmatically. This, for example, includes programmable messaging (including SMS and WhatsApp) and programmable voice. Additionally, Twilio's Verify API allows the integration of user verification into your applications.

By the end of the course, you’ll have sufficient skills in Twilio to interact with a demo application that exhibits a daily-life user experience built with Twilio APIs.

# Send an outbound SMS message

The code in the following widget sends an SMS message from our Twilio phone number (specified by `from_`) to our desired phone number (specified by `to`). The text of the SMS is specified by the `body` field.

>**Note:** Please avoid any special character in the `body` text because it sometimes causes problems in the SMS delivery.

Put the desired `to` number against the `YOUR_MOBILE_NUMBER` API key in the widget below using the following E.164 formatting,  which is the format used for international phone numbers:

```n
[+][country code][phone number including area code]
```

> **Note:** If the desired phone number is different than the number we used while creating the Twilio account, we need to verify that number. We can visit the [Verified Caller IDs](https://www.twilio.com/user/account/phone-numbers/verified) page to add our desired number to the verified caller IDs.

Press the “Run” button in the following widget to receive an SMS message on our phone from our Twilio number.
