Can you print the response as shown below

resp = platform.post('/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/sms',
              {
                  'from' : { 'phoneNumber': RINGCENTRAL_USERNAME },
                  'to'   : [ {'phoneNumber': RECIPIENT} ],
                  'text' : 'Hello World from Python'
              })

print resp.text()

it says failed, what can be causing that, tried doing it from the console and they don't get sent, but the callout feature works.
