I am trying to use Twilio in order to send SMS text message confirmations to users who provide their phone number. The only problem is that I don’t have much understanding in regards to WebAPIs. Could anyone please provide some help or guidance in regards to this? I could really use some help.

In the previous post I was asking whether it was possible or not; I am asking for _help_ on this post on how to _actually_ do it now.
