Note that Twilio is not free. Their rates depend on number of messages you going to send and many other things.

This will create Services folder with one file (Twilio.php) and one folder (Twilio) in there.

Assuming that cell_phone is a field in the login table we can use AfterSuccessfulLogin event. That's the phone number where we will be sending SMSs.
AfterSuccessfulLogin event:
$_SESSION["cell_phone"]=$userdata["cell_phone"];

Proceed to Twilio control panel and note your phone number, Account SID and Auth Token. You are going to need them soon.
Button Server event code
require "Services/Twilio.php";
$AccountSid = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
$AuthToken = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
$TwilioNumber="xxx-xxx-xxxx";
$http = new Services_Twilio_TinyHttp('https://api.twilio.com';, array('curlopts' => array(
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false
)));
$client = new Services_Twilio($AccountSid, $AuthToken, null, $http);
$record = $button->getCurrentRecord();
$sms = $client->account->messages->sendMessage(
$TwilioNumber,
$_SESSION["cell_phone"],
"Make: ".$record["Make"]."\n".
"Model: ".$record["Model"]."\n".
"YearOfMake: ".$record["YearOfMake"]."\n".
"Price: ".$record["Price"]
);
