+d. [Optional] If you are running the app locally, you will need to generate a public URL that can forward a request to your `localhost`. This can be done using [Tunnelmole](https://github.com/robbie-cahill/tunnelmole-client), an open source tunnelling tool, or [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/docs/getting-started/#step-2-install-the-ngrok-agent), a popular closed source tunnelling tool. 
 
-e. On Twilio's UI, you can now click on "# Phone Numbers" -> "Manage" -> "[Active numbers](https://console.twilio.com/us1/develop/phone-numbers/manage/incoming)" on the left hand side nav.
+For Tunnelmole:
 
-f. Click on the phone number you just created from the list, scroll down to "Messaging Configuration" section and enter [your_app_url]/api/text in "A message comes in" section under "Webhook".
+Install Tunnelmole with `curl -O https://install.tunnelmole.com/ckz05/install && sudo bash install`. (On Windows, download [tmole.exe](https://tunnelmole.com/downloads/tmole.exe))
+Then, run `tmole 3000` (replacing `3000` with the port number you are listening on if it is different). In the output, you'll see two URLs, one HTTP and a HTTPS URL. It's best to use the HTTPS URL for privacy and security, you probably don't want to open up your chats to unauthorized viewers by using the unencrypted HTTP URL!.
+
+For ngrok:
+
+Fist install ngrok [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/docs/getting-started/#step-2-install-the-ngrok-agent), then run `ngrok http 3000` to generate a public url that can forward the request to your localhost. Replace port `3000` with your port if its different.
