}
}In laravel we can easily handle the errors by using Handler.php (You can use custom Exception Handlr too)
- If You are trying to implement SMS functionality with Twilio the you need to verify the list of destination mobile numbers at Twilio
- Before sending MESSAGE make sure that you have enabled GEO-PERMISSIONS at Twilio
