SMS Verification
In sign up process im getting user's mobile phone number. I want to send a verification code via SMS to that mobile number which they would have to enter to complete the sign up process.
Any ideas?

You need an external service that will send SMS messages. If this is a worldwide service check for international services, otherwise find them locally. Usually the mobile carriers have some plans and an API.
Something like this: https://www.twilio.com/docs/quickstart/php/sms/sending-via-rest

You can do that by following these steps:-
- Generate a code and save in session
- Send SMS to user
- Get input and check with the OTP sent
You can also add a feature to resend which will pull OTP from session and resend it through SMS.
In order to send SMS, you need to use a SMS provider. Usually, SMS providers in your home country can provide better prices as compared to Nexmo / Twillio. In order to integrate them, you can use the Laravel SMS API plugin (https://packagist.org/packages/gr8shivam/laravel-sms-api).
