Try:

public function index()
{
   if(url()->previous()!=url()->current()){
      SendTextMessage::SendMessage($phoneNumber, $smsMessage);
   }

   
    return view('welcome');
}

URL history is stored in session, so it can be a solution for page refresh.

If you are sending message only when user visit welcome page, then you can set a flag in session and check if session value is not exists only then send message.

use Session;
public function index()
{
    if(!Session::has('message_sent')){
       SendTextMessage::SendMessage($phoneNumber, $smsMessage);
       Session::put('message_sent', true);
     }
    
    return view('welcome');
}
