If they really replied with,

Quote:
I recied response 200 ok and message "INVALID SENDSMS CALL (WELCOME) "

Then I recommend leaving the platform as they leave no option of debugging or understanding what went wrong.

There are some ethics in HTTP programming (or Web API development), a 200 should be returned if everything goes fine and task has been accomplished—it can be a page load request, a record creation, etc.—but this Web API responds with a 200, but returns an error message and does not send anything.

You can try other products such as Twilio[^]—I do not endorse the product—or you can try any other online SMS sending API, such as Alibaba Cloud SMS[^] service if that makes sense to you.
