Initiate a phone verification check.

The Authy Phone Verification API allows you to verify that the user has the device in their possession. The Authy Phone Verification API lets you request a verification code to be sent to the user and also verify that the code received by the user is valid.

When you want to verify a user's phone you start by requesting a verification code for that user's phone number. The verification code is valid for 10 minutes. Subsequent calls to the API within the expiration time will send the same verification code.
