@msaad Laravel doesn’t have its own services for sending emails or SMS. The notification component uses drivers for sending emails and SMS. You still need an account with a third-party to be able to send emails or SMS.

Laravel Email Service Vs Third Party Email Service
Hello Friends, I want to send emails and SMS to users for verification.
I have two options that I use:
- Laravel Notification & Mail Service To Send Email & Phone Number Verification
- Use Third-Party Tool Like Mail Chimp Or Twillio.
Which service Is best to use for email sending & Phone Number Verification?
Which service is best compatible with amazon hosting.
Thanks.

@martinbean Sorry for the late response.
"Best" means which service is more secure and easy to use and used for both email and SMS sending.

You seem confused about which way to go. I suggest you clarify the business requirements first.

@Snapey Sorry for the late response. I am developing a food ordering system in which users need to verify their email for account and phone number for order placement(to contact).
The system is in Laravel so I need to know that how can I do this?
Thanks

@msaad personally, I would use PostMark for email and Nexmo (now Vonage) for SMS, but your choices are massive, and the best solution for you depends on predicted volume and the location of your users.
