Description:

This is an HTTPS request to the Nexmo Number Search, it will hit the server of Nexmo and find some virtual number to generate.In our case first we will try to generate some test numbers and afterwards go for the live number generation.
There is a curl call request which provides you some virtual number in response to work with.
This number is useful in sending messages to different countries. You can visit Nexmo for more information…
