How are you passing authorization token code?

First you need to check if your Client ID and Client secret for this new API is valid. Then check if you are passing the correct oauth token. And then make sure if you are hitting correct url for sms

Any reason you don't use the RingCentral .Net SDK?

What you put in the uri is so wrong

string uri = "https://platform.ringcentral.com/restapi/v1.0/account/+19294682441/extension/101/sms";

It is the account id not the username (phone number), and the extension id not the extension number 101. Those ids are read from the platform.
