# Configure a SMS Provider
Using the configured SMS service, send test sms message(s) to verify the dispatch/delivery in Non-Production. Configure an external provider with your organization's SMS settings to send notifications to your end users with your custom email service. From the **Admin console** provider you:
* Send test SMS message using Digital Identity Management SMS (SMS-to-email) service in a non-production environment
* Send test SMS message using configured SMS provider in a non-production environment
* Configure an external SMS email provider and send a test SMS message in a production environment
**Note:** Twilio is the supported SMS provider currently. More Provider types will be supported in an upcoming release.
1. **Working in Non-Production Environments**
2. Navigate to the **Admin console** > **Branding** > **SMS Provider**.
The Digital Identity Management SMS service sends the message as an SMS-to-email using mailinator.com and is not a full end-to-end sms service.
