SMS / Gaurang Jadia

I came across a question on StackOverflow.com yesterday. As, I have used Twilio API to send SMS and do Phone Call many times. I signed up to help the OP.

If you wanna compile following code in your local box, then you need to have JSON.jar and commons-codec-1.8.jar JAR files. Download File Archive
