Twilio developer evangelist here.

If you want to send SMS messages to your clients, you will need to either buy a number from Twilio, port in your existing phone number, or use an alphanumeric sender ID.

Otherwise, you seem like you are well on your way to successfully sending SMS messages.

  • I'm currently using alphnumeric senderID to send sms ex: from: 'TestTest'. I didn't receive any response. It work when I use this number +15005550006 test from: '+15005550006' – Christian L Jun 04 '21 at 14:48
  • It looks, from your other answer, like you are getting an error message but not catching the error. If you chain `.catch(console.error)` after the `.then()` you will discover the issue. Also, the number you mention looks to be a test number, make sure you are using your production Account SID and Auth Token when you try to send with an alphanumeric sender ID. – philnash Jun 04 '21 at 23:55
