Hello, I'm trying to send an SMS on our sandbox account and I'm receiving the following error code MSG-242. From the other posts it looks like you are manually giving sandbox accounts the ability to send SMS. I didn't see any automated way to enable that.

did you use this code to detect if the number has the SmsSender feature?

var resp = await platform.get("/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/phone-number")
var jsonObj = await resp.json()
for (var record of jsonObj.records){
    for (feature of record.features){
        if (feature == "SmsSender"){
          // use the record.phoneNumber to send SMS
        }
    }
}

When I hit that endpoint I only get one record and the only feature it has is "CallerId"
