Hi, I think this situation occurred when I first created a project in the Twilio dashboard and I didn't select it's for a hackathon AND I live in Romania, where (after documenting about this) I have 0 access to SMS API :) (Wish I had, because this enables other devs - myself included, to create integrations/apps with Twilio in products that can be used locally)

And thanks for the point, of not using my own phone nr, I did add it as an env property so it's not exposed in the code at all, but still, good to know I don't have to altogether. After I changed the type of project, I got a phone nr from the platform, but still using a real nr for SMS testing.

I know that SMS numbers in Romania are not available, but you can still send messages from Twilio using an international number. So if you do need one, you can use a US number (for example) and send your messages from that.
