Configuring Twilio account with LoginRadius

Twilio is a cloud-based platform for providing communication-based services. It includes APIs for programmatically making and receiving phone calls, sending and receiving SMS messages. Its services are accessed over HTTP and billed as per usage. Internally, LoginRadius uses Twilio for its SMS services in phone authentication, sending OTP, and others. This section describes configuring a Twilio account with LoginRadius.
