-
Select the phone number that this SMS text message will send to.
NOTE
The SMS platform will check all 3 of the contact's phone numbers (Home, Work, and Cell). If none of these numbers are detected as a valid mobile number, the system will use the Cell Phone. - Click Send Message.

To view a sent message, from the Client Dashboard, go to the History tab.
Troubleshooting
A client replied to my SMS text message but I don't see it.
This most likely means that there are duplicate contact files linked with your Twilio account, that have the same mobile phone number. The system will add the reply to the contact record that was most recently sent an SMS text message.
