Do you want to send SMS messages whenever someone fills out the form? Do you want to know how to send contact form data submitted via the website to your mobile phone as SMS?
Are you someone who rarely checks emails and feel it would be preferable to be notified via SMS?
If you prefer to send SMS instead of email, you could use a service like Twilio, which allows you to send and receive SMS from your apps.
With Twilio you could easily send SMS messages to any number including international ones (provided you have applied for the service).
By connecting Twilio and Contact Form 7, you can send SMS from your WordPress website with ease.
