Error: The number +xxxxxxx is unverified. Trial accounts cannot send messages to unverified numbers; verify +xxxxxxx at twilio.com/user/account/phone-numbers/verified, or purchase a Twilio number to send messages to unverified numbers.

Hi everyone. I was trying to send a message from Twilio to the user but I've got this error.Who can help me? Maybe I don't understand how does it work. Should I add a number to which I want to send a message to Twilio? Or what does this message mean?

Yes that is exactly what it means, you have to verify the number you want to send your message to. The verification is done by either a call or a text.
Twilio - Verify Phone number

This will also allow you to use this number as a caller id when making a call(does not work with texting).

This is a somewhat common limitation setup for trial accounts.
