How to send SMS and Email

[shaijut]

May I know when and how I can send SMS and Email using Azure communication services ?

Can anyone show me a simple demo in C# or Javascript ?

@shaijut we are targeting availability of the Phone numbers (required to send an SMS) in October.

Glad to hear that you have Email also in your Plan. Normally I use Mailgun for sending emails, It would be good if you could provide a options to send email easily using any Programming language.

Is there any other Azure services to send email ?

@shaijut sorry for my earlier comment about free trials. That is an upcoming functionality for the next year. As part of public preview, you will not be able to access SMS using Azure free trial. If you have requested access for private preview here https://aka.ms/ACS-EarlyAdopter you can try out the functionality for free.
