Hi Jack,

To make a callout to external web service, You create an apex class with the future method marked with @future(callout=true)
Here is the example code:

public class SMSUtils {

    // Call async from triggers, etc, where callouts are not permitted.

    @future(callout=true)

    public static void sendSMSAsync(String fromNbr, String toNbr, String m) {

        String results = sendSMS(fromNbr, toNbr, m);

        System.debug(results);

    }

    // Call from controllers, etc, for immediate processing

    public static String sendSMS(String fromNbr, String toNbr, String m) {

        // Calling 'send' will result in a callout

        String results = SmsMessage.send(fromNbr, toNbr, m);

        insert new SMS_Log__c(to__c=toNbr, from__c=fromNbr, msg__c=results);

        return results;
    }
 }
