Short code numbers are always country-specific and can only communicate with numbers from the same country. Your account must have a Twilio number from the same country as the short code from which you expect to receive messages.This is an account-wide setting, which will apply to all long code numbers that belong to your Twilio account. Twilio accounts can now be enabled to receive messages from short codes.Are you expecting to receive SMSes from a short code?.Twilio does not have the ability to determine whether or not the phone number you are sending messages from is roaming at the time. Twilio can’t guarantee the deliverability of SMSes from roaming phone numbers.If you’re receiving domestic but not international SMS messages, we recommend contacting the international sending carrier.Because of this, Twilio can’t guarantee that international messages will always be received. Some international carriers aren’t able to successfully pass off SMS messages to Twilio’s network.Are you expecting to receive SMSes from international numbers?.You can set up this webhook the Console for any Twilio phone number you own: Your number also needs to have a URL associated with it to receive incoming SMS.
