I tried to send an SMS using Twilio in Python 2

Question

I wrote a code in Python 2 to send an sms, but I got an error.

from Twilio.rest import Client

# Your Account SID from twilio.com/console
account_sid = "secret"
# Your Auth Token from twilio.com/console
auth_token  = "secret"

client = Client(account_sid, auth_token)

message = client.messages.create(
    to="", #a number 
    from_="", #twilio's numbe
    body="welcome to zadly")

print(message.sid)

I expected that I would receive SMS but my output was

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python27\send_sms.py", line 13, in <module>
    body="welcome to zadly")

Answer 1

Open this and read this -

If you wish to send messages to this region, please enable the relevant permissions on your account in the Global Permissions page.

Now go click on Global Permissions link and enable the relevant permission to send the sms. It's rather simple.

Ps: Always read your exceptions carefully, there's clue in there ;)
