I wrote a code in Python 2 to send an sms, but I got an error.
from Twilio.rest import Client
# Your Account SID from twilio.com/console
account_sid = "secret"
# Your Auth Token from twilio.com/console
auth_token = "secret"
client = Client(account_sid, auth_token)
message = client.messages.create(
to="", #a number
from_="", #twilio's numbe
body="welcome to zadly")
print(message.sid)
I expected that I would receive SMS but my output was
Traceback (most recent call last):

See the ERROR: 21408 docs and read this -
You have attempted to send an SMS or MMS to a region that has not been enabled in your account's Messaging Geo-Permissions settings. page.
Now go click on Messaging Geo-Permissions link and enable the relevant permission to send the sms. It's rather simple.
PS: Always read your exceptions carefully, there's clue in there ;)
