Send SMS message asynchronously to a mobile number

<Note>If the user includes stop code in the Transactional SMS, then it will be switched to Marketing SMS automatically and it will be interpreted as a Marketing SMS.

However, if a message is categorized as Marketing, it must adhere to specific time restrictions. Messages sent outside of these restricted hours will experience delays and will be processed during allowable times.
