Seems it's my day for basic questions. Can someone please point me to basic and complete steps to send an SMS message and tell if it succeeded using CF 2018? I don't need to monitor incoming messages. Possibly lame specifics: • Is an external SMS service required (ex Twilio)? • Where should I be looking for this info besides here?
s
Yes, you need an SMS carrier, and Twilio is one of the easiest (and already has libraries on forgebox)

What exactly does the test gateway do then? Where is that described?
s
I'm not sure what 'test gateway' refers to
I expect that Twilio has a sandbox app where you can send messages to just your own number or something to that effect
