I have finally signed up for a Nexmo trial account and have some credit… and I have created the sms.properties file and entered the correct key and secret. I’ve also added the widget.
Yet no notifications are being sent?
How can I troubleshoot this?

In fairness it’s not documented because they are terms used every day by Joe public.
The public has been sending SMS messages via GSM networks for perhaps 20 years and receiving PUSH messages to their Smartphone via the internet for 10 years.
As stated by @Lichtsignaal local servers do send PUSH (notify) messages.
What I meant by not well documented is that Blynk.sms() isn’t mentioned ANYWHERE in any of the documenation.
Starting from the “push notification widget” documentation, I managed to find my way to the github, blynk-server readme about how to set up the “Push notifications widget” on local server, BUT the only info I could find about anything to do with “notifications” (sms or push) was the section about adding Nexmo SMS to your sms.properties file.
This is the confusing part. There is no defining bit of info detailing the two difference types of notification systems available.
Unfortunately New Zealand is small and there is only one available service which costs $250 a month (for business only).
I have $2.25 credit on Nexmo which I’ll use until the Push Notifications are setup for iOS.
