### Environment variables

[](#environment-variables)

If the env method is available from your application you can set the env variables, see example below:

```
// TWILIO SPECIFIC SETTINGS
TWILIO_SID={sid_from_twilio}
TWILIO_TOKEN={token_from_twilio}
// may want to set the inbound number
TWILIO_INBOUND_NUMBER={number_that_captures_inbound_sms}

```

If the env method is not available, see example below to set them using an alternate method:

```
$text = Text::getDriver("twilio");
$text->setSid(***********);
$text->setToken(************);
// may want to set the inbound number
$text->setInboundNumber(************);

```

```
$text = Text::getDriver("twilio");
$text->setBody('Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, mnesarchum interpretaris vis eu.');
$text->setTo('+447*********');
$text->setFrom(env('TWILIO_NUMBER'));
$text->send();

$text->setMedia('url_to_media');
$text->setTo('+447*********');
