How to realize sending otp on the phone?

Question

I am trying to implement phone registration using twilio, python and django

I can`t comprehend how i have to realize mechanism , that takes input from user for texting him

Generating otp and sending to user:

from twilio.rest import Client
import random
otp=random.randint(1000,9999)


account_sid = ''
auth_token = ''

client = Client(account_sid, auth_token)

client.messages.create(from_='+',
                      to='+',
                      body='Your OTP is -'+str(otp))

When user inputs his phone number, it sends to the server

But how i can place his number at to =" _HERE_ " , when he sends it to the server and how i can call this file then?

In your views simply get the user input and send it to the positional argument.

views.py

from django.views import View


class SendOTP(View):
    def post(self, request):
        if request.method == "POST":
            to = request.POST.get('to')
            _from = request.POST.get('from')
            client = Client(account_sid, auth_token)
            client.messages.create(from_=_from,
                                  to=to,
                                  body='Your OTP is -'+str(otp))

template.html

<form method="post">
{%csrf_token%}
    <input type="text" name="to">
    <input type="text" name="from">
</form>
