- Inbound messages When Twilio receives message requests from your application, these requests are queued for delivery in the order we receive them. Each of your Twilio phone numbers has a separate queue, and each queue can hold up to 4 hours' worth of message segments based on the sending rate for a phone number type.
- The Twilio bindings are provided in the Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.Twilio NuGet package, version 1.x. Source code for the package is in the azure-webjobs-sdk GitHub repository. The following table tells how to add support for this binding in each development environment.
- Send iMessage, if fail then send text via twilio. But otherwise couldn't see the use case (at least for reliable delivery rate) probe 11 months ago. You're spot on - iMessage returns a datedelivered so we know if it's successful or not, and send an SMS backup via Twilio.
Twilio enables apps to send and receive global SMS, MMS and IP messages.
Control what you share. And when you chat. Only you can start a conversation. And when you do, the company can’t see personal information, like your name or phone number, unless you choose to share it for appointments or deliveries.

Short Message Service (SMS) text messages are ubiquitous for communicationall over the world. It is easy to send SMS text messages from aPython application using aweb application programming interface (API).Let's take a look at the tools we need to quickly add SMS capability to ourPython apps.
Tools We Need
This guide works with both Python 2 and 3, so make sure you have one ofthose two versions installed.
- Either Python 2 or 3
- pip andvirtualenv to handleapplication dependencies
- A free Twilio account to use theirSMS web API
- Open sourceTwilio Python helper library,version 6.0.0or later
If you need assistance getting pip and virtualenv installed, check out thefirst few steps of thehow to set up Python 3, Flask and Green Unicorn on Ubuntu 16.04 LTSguide that'll show how to install system packages for those tools.
Using a Web API
We're going to use a web API to make sending SMS easier and more reliable.Head to theTwilio website and sign up for a free trial accountawesome for more than just sending text messages!) then sign into yourexisting account.
The Twilio trial account allows you to send text messages to your ownvalidated phone number. When you want to send SMS to any phone number inyour country or other countries then you can upgrade your account to sendmessages for fractions of a cent.
After signing up, you will get a free phone number in your country. We canuse that phone number without any configuration to send outbound textmesssages. You can also receive text messages but that requires changingthe Request URL webhook in the phone number configuration screen - we'llcover that in a future blog post.
Installing Our Dependency
Our code will use a helper library to make it easier to send text messagesfrom Python. We are going to install the helper library fromPyPI into a virtualenv. First we need tocreate the virtualenv. In your terminal use the following command to createa new virtualenv. If you need to install virtualenv take a look at thehow to set up Python 3, Flask and Green Unicorn on Ubuntu 16.04 LTSguide.
Activate the virtualenv.
The command prompt will change after we properly activate the virtualenvto something like this:
Now install the Twilio Python helper library. We are using the 6.0.0or above library version, which is important because the syntax inthis post is backwards-incompatible with 5.x and previous Twilio helperlibrary versions.
The helper library is now installed and we can use it with the Python codewe create and execute.
Sending SMS From Python
Fire up the Python interpreter in the terminal using the python command,or create a new file named send_sms.py.
We need to grab our account credentials from the Twilio Console to connectour Python code to our Twilio account. Go to theTwilio Console and copy the Account SIDand Authentication Token into your Python code.
Enter the following code into the interpreter or into the new Python file.You can also copy and paste the code from theblog-code-examples Git repositoryin theFull Stack Python GitHub organization.
All the lines above that start with # are comments. Once you enter thatcode into the interpreter or run the Python script usingpython send_sms.py the SMS will be sent.
In a few seconds you should see a message appear on your phone. I'm oniOS so here's how the text message I received looked.
That's it! You can add this code to any Python code to send text messages.Just keep your Auth Token secret as it'll allow anyone that has it to useyour account to send and receive messages.
