Hi dev,

I'm going to guide you through the process of sending SMS messages with Twilio in Laravel 10. I'm going to demonstrate laravel 10 - twilio sms notifications to you. Explain laravel 10 sms notification twilio step by step. If you have a query regarding laravel 10 send sms to mobile with twilio, I will provide a simple example as well as a solution.

Twilio is a cloud telecommunications platform that enables developers to integrate phone, SMS, and video communication channels into their apps. The company was established in 2008 and is based in San Francisco, California. Twilio's platform offers Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for developers to use in integrating numerous communication channels into their apps. This enables developers to quickly design programmes that can send and receive SMS messages, make and receive phone calls, and do other things.

In this example, we will simply install twilio/sdk composer package and send sms to specific number using Twilio API and Secret Key.

let's follow bellow steps:

Step 1: Install Laravel

first of all we need to get fresh Laravel version application using bellow command, So open your terminal OR command prompt and run bellow command:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog

Step 2: Create Twilio Account

First you need to create and add phone number. then you can easily get account SID, Token and Number.

Create Account from here:www.twilio.com.

Next add Twilio Phone Number

Next you can get account SID, Token and Number and add on .env file as like bellow:

.env

TWILIO_SID=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
TWILIO_TOKEN=XXXXXXXXXXXXX
TWILIO_FROM=+XXXXXXXXXXX	

Step 3: Install twilio/sdk Package

In this step, we need to install twilio/sdk composer package to use twilio api. so let's run bellow command:

composer require twilio/sdk	

Step 4: Create Route

now we will create one route for calling our example, so let's add new route to web.php file as bellow:

routes/web.php

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\TwilioSMSController;
  
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/
  
Route::get('sendSMS', [TwilioSMSController::class, 'index']);	

Step 5: Create Controller

in this step, we will create TwilioSMSController and write send sms logic, so let's add new route to web.php file as bellow:

app/Http/Controllers/TwilioSMSController.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Exception;
use Twilio\Rest\Client;
  
class TwilioSMSController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function index()
    {
        $receiverNumber = "RECEIVER_NUMBER";
        $message = "This is testing from Nicesnippets.com";
  
        try {
  
            $account_sid = getenv("TWILIO_SID");
            $auth_token = getenv("TWILIO_TOKEN");
            $twilio_number = getenv("TWILIO_FROM");
  
            $client = new Client($account_sid, $auth_token);
            $client->messages->create($receiverNumber, [
                'from' => $twilio_number, 
                'body' => $message]);
  
            dd('SMS Sent Successfully.');
  
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            dd("Error: ". $e->getMessage());
        }
    }
}	

Now you can run and check.

I hope it can help you...
