Twilio Messaging Service with test credentials

3
votes

Using Twilio test credentials allows simulation of sending SMS messages from/to valid numbers, non-SMS-capable numbers, invalid numbers, etc., by using specific numbers for the value of the 'From'/'To' parameter of the HTTP POST to Twilio.

Is there any way to use Twilio test credentials to simulate sending (successfully or unsuccessfully) using a value for the 'MessagingServiceSid' parameter instead of a value for the 'From' parameter?

The test credentials page says: "All of the existing outbound SMS parameters will work, with the exception of MessagingServiceSid." so it doesn't sound like it is currently possible.

I'm afraid the test credentials only work for the following endpoints:

  • Buying phone numbers: POST /2010-04-01/Accounts/{TestAccountSid}/IncomingPhoneNumbers
  • Sending SMS messages: POST /2010-04-01/Accounts/{TestAccountSid}/Messages
  • Making calls: POST /2010-04-01/Accounts/{TestAccountSid}/Calls
