{% hint style="info" %}
**Updated 21 March 2024**: We have updated this portion of the guide, where agencies will now have to apply for an account directly with Twilio. 
{% endhint %}

You will now need to create a Twilio account to continue using Postman to send out your messages

{% hint style="danger" %}
Postman **does not** manage Twilio accounts on behalf of agencies
{% endhint %}
