There are a number of SMS services out there. This recipe uses Twilio because you can use
it for free, but you will need to
verify the number
to which you are texting. First, go to
Twilio's home page
and set up an account. Note your account SID and authorization token.
If you are using the free version, be sure to
verify your numbers
.
Next, install Trilio by using the following command:
bone#
npm install -g twilio
Finally, add the code in
Example 6-8
to a file named

and run it. Your text will
be sent.
