Send SMS and MMS messages from a phone number on your project, and redact the
body of a message you already sent. To read message history, use the read-only
message logs under [`client.logs.messages`][logs] instead.

```typescript {9-11}
import { RestClient } from "@signalwire/sdk";

const client = new RestClient({
  project: "your-project-id",
  token: "your-api-token",
  host: "your-space.signalwire.com"
});

const message = await client.messages.create("+15559876543", "+15551234567", {
  body: "Your Bayview Taxi van is 5 minutes away.",
});
console.log(message.id, message.status);
