Before using this code, you need to:

1. Sign up for a Twilio account at Twilio.

2. Obtain your Twilio Account SID and Auth Token.

3. Create a Twilio phone number.

4. Install the required Python library using pip:

   pip install twilio

Usage

   • 'your_account_sid': Your Twilio Account SID.
   • 'your_auth_token': Your Twilio Auth Token.
   • '+your_twilio_phone_number': Your Twilio phone number.
   • to_phone_number: The recipient's phone number.
   • message: The message you want to send.

2. Run the Python script. It will send an SMS message to the specified recipient.

Code Explanation
