Outbound SMS via either api?

Hello again community -
not getting any answer to this question is a bit frustrating.
But I found something of a work around, I don’t like it, and it seems messy to me - and not so easy to change if I would want to do something different.
I ended up using a webhook, to newtifry notification service. I had to modified the sketch to send my data so that it would be appended to the end of the newtifry url.
something like this:
void doTempSend() {
char buf[8];
dtostrf(dht.readTemperature(true),4,2,buf);
String ret = "&message=Temperature: “;
ret.concat(buf);
ret.concat(”, ");
dtostrf(dht.readHumidity(),4,2,buf);
ret.concat("humidity: ");
ret.concat(buf);

SerialCloud.println(ret);

}

I got the idea from this thread:

This is not really how I wanted to do this project - but it did work. It seems like thou, if I wanted to send the same information to say thingspeak - and send it to a notification system I would be using a lot of data.
