I’ve just tested this module to validate that it is working correctly, and it seems to be.

I’m not sure what specific issue you are running into.

I might suggest following the example on the getting started page for Nexmo, and using your same data:

curl -X POST [https://rest.nexmo.com/sms/json](https://rest.nexmo.com/sms/json)   
-d api\_key=640c8a53   
-d api\_secret=0ce239a6   
-d to=919168694888   
-d from=8793161930   
-d text=“Hello from Nexmo”

Of course, you need to replace api\_key and api\_secret with your key and secret.
