Is there a way to display Twilio number in Caller ID without hard-coding it?

I have a question similar to this one: How can I display my Twilio number for inbound calls

However, I now have two separate Twilio numbers that both point to the same URL, so hard-coding the number as Caller ID is no longer an option. Is there a method I can use to get which Twilio number was called? I know that PhoneNumber gets the caller's number, so I need a way to distinguish which of my two numbers are calling.

Twilio evangelist here.

When Twilio makes its HTTP request to your application letting you know that someone has called your Twilio number, we pass along a bunch of form-encoded parameters, including which Twilio phone number the person called. Your web platform should have a way to grab those parameters fro mthe incoming request. For example in PHP it looks like this:

$from = $_REQUEST['To'];

In .NET, there are a number of ways to do it, but here is one:

Request.Form["To"]

Hope that helps.
