Send SMS Verification

Send an SMS with verification code and a custom message for authentication purpose.

Before sending SMS verification, kindly check whether you have enough SMS credits or not. A 24 hours cooldown required if the SMS failed to deliver 10 times in a day. An API key is needed before using this REST API, thus sign up for an API key if you do not have one.
