Does anyone know if it is possible to send an SMS message through Nintex workflow without having to use a 3rd party vendor?

I did read this   blog post but it is a few years old so I was curious if there was a new way without a 3rd party vendor. 

Thanks!

The only way to do it without a 3rd party vendor would be if you had your own SMS gateway setup that you could communicate with. As there is a cost associated with SMS / text messengering the easiest way to do it, is to use a service like Twilio. Where you can purchase phone numbers from different countries / regions as so your SMS messages can be tailored to your audiences.  Twilio can be used natively in Nintex Workflow Cloud or via a UDA https://community.nintex.com/docs/DOC-3706  as you have already pointed out.
