I just took a look at your module, and immediately noticed there is no way to send sms via email. There is only a propriety paid for sms service, Twilio SMS.

All or most, phone company's receive sms messages via email. Below are a few examples of how to send a text message to a mobile phone number via email. It is a simple matter of using the phone number itself along with the carriers domain name for sms messaging.

T Mobile
1234567890@tmomail.net
At&T
1234567890@txt.att.net.
Verizon
1234567890@vtext.com

Would it be difficult to add the ability to send sms via email?

Hi @SinOjos. This is a fine suggestion for a separate TFA plugin. I think going through a number lends some security or trust to the process but offering a free option using sms through email is a good alternative.

A new plugin would need to support account phone entry in addition to selecting carrier so it could choose the right carrier domain for the outgoing email.

Title: Support for Email SMS » Support for Email SMS (using vendor specific email to sms bridge)

Making the title more specific about the feature as it was initially confusing to me what this meant.
