How to Send an SMS with a Click of a Button with Java

What's this blog post about?

Twilio is a service that powers communication and makes it convenient to send messages, including SMS and WhatsApp messages, in various programming languages, including Java. With the help of Twilio and Java, developers can create graphical user interfaces (GUIs) to send an SMS with just a click of a button. The process involves creating a new project directory, downloading the Twilio Java helper library, buying a Twilio phone number, creating a button GUI, configuring the environment with Twilio account credentials, and overriding the button clicking action to send an SMS using the Twilio REST API. Once completed, the code can be compiled and run on a Java program to send an SMS to a specified phone number when the button is clicked.
