I'm a new Twilio user and am trying to test sending an SMS using my Live credentials, purchased From number, and valid To number. I'm receiving this error: Unable to create record: Permission to send an SMS has not been enabled for the region indicated by the 'To' number

AFAIK, sending IS enabled for the United States. Is there something else that I'm missing?

Thank you.

Twilio developer evangelist here.

What you need to do is go to your Twilio console, to the Geographic permissions for SMS section and ensure you have the permission checked for sending to the US.

Let me know if that helps.
