After get API Key and Account name from your account dashboard.Go to,
1-My Services.
2-Click view button of the right side.

 array(
     'method'  => 'POST',
     'content' => $data,
    // you need to specify the content length header
     'header'  => "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n"
    . 'Content-Length: ' . strlen($data) . "\r\n"
   ));
  if ($optional_headers !== null) {
      // append optional_headers if it is not null
      $params['http']['header'] .= $optional_headers;
  }
   $ctx = stream_context_create($params);
   $fp = fopen($url, 'r', false, $ctx);
   if (!$fp) {
      throw new Exception("Problem with $url, $php_errormsg");
   }
   $response = stream_get_contents($fp);
   if ($response === false) {
      throw new Exception("Problem reading data from $url, $php_errormsg");
   }
   fclose($fp);
   return $response;
}   // End of the function
   $post_data => array(
     'accountName' => 'MyAccount',
     'key'         => 'xxxxffxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxd2d3xxxx',
     'phoneNumber' => '0715258378',
     'message'     => 'Hello World', //please perform URLEncode on this field
     'countryCode' => 'US'
  );
 try
 {
   $result = post_request('http://api.gateway160.com/client/sendmessage/', $post_data);
   if($result == "1")
   {
     echo "Sent Successfully";
   }
   else
   {
    //error (check the response code from the chart above)
    echo "Error";
