Twilio sandbox for development

We are using an SMS messaging service to send SMS to customers. In order to test and develop the things do we have any Twilio sandbox? We don't want to test all the things directly in PROD Twilio account.
Searched for a solution for the sandbox in Twilio but was not able. As per the article, we saw that there is an option only for WhatsApp only.
The Test Credentials are pretty helpful if you want to test a function and does an API call without actually sending a SMS.

Twilio not sending webhooks in Progammable Chat

I would like to ask a question or maybe report a bug after solving my doubts. I started working with Programmable Chat and Twilio do not want to send a webhook to specific url but only when I'm sending message from my PHP code. I downloaded example node app and sending message from that, everything is working really nice, I'm getting post request from Twilio but if only I will send message from PHP, nothing at all. And strange is, after sending message from PHP, it will appear immediately in chat which means that it's working.
How does it possible? Could it mean that Twilio on theirs backend has an a bug when they receive message from PHP and becuase of that they are not fire webhook event?
I eliminated all differences, everything is that same beside that one message is sending from PHP and another from node. Same situation from API Explorer.

When you send messages to Programmable Chat from the REST API then webhooks aren't triggered. I think the reasoning is because you are making the call from your server, then your server is already aware that you are sending a message and you don't need to receive a webhook to do so. It also saves from the potential of infinite loops (if your webhook sends a message via the REST API, the requests would just go in circles).
So, it's not a bug, but a design choice. If you need to trigger your webhooks when you send a message from the REST API, you will need to make the webhook from your own server.

How do I receive a Twilio SMS into a Logic App?

How do I create a Logic App to receive an SMS?
I made some progress in my question here
I have been studying the information I found here
and have configured the Twilio Webhook to Call the Http endpoint when a message comes in.
following instructions similar to this
I copied the Request Body JSON from the instructions.
If I the Add A Twilo -Get Message Action it asks for the Unique SID of the message. I can't know this at Logic App Design Time, so how do I get it?
Instead letting Logic App to "retrieve" the message from Twilio, as mentioned in the comments, you should set up a webhook in Twilio's settings page to invoke Logic App ('s request trigger).

Twilio calls integration to ios app without server app

This must be a silly question, but is there any way to make calls btw two iOS apps without server app mentioned in Twilio tutorials. Tell me please what server app does and is there any way to perform such tasks on front end instead?
Twilio developer evangelist here.
The server is required to generate an access token for your users to get access to the Twilio service.
You also need to host some TwiML to tell Twilio what to do with calls when you make them.
If you are not interested in running a server, however, you are in luck. Just recently, Twilio launched Functions, a serverless environment for you to deploy code to. With a Twilio Function, you can use Node.js to generate your access tokens for your users and you won't have to host the code yourself, it will all be on the Twilio platform.
Check out Twilio Functions in your console and take a look at the Node.js quickstart application for the iOS Twilio Programmable Voice SDK which should give you an idea of how to use Node for your application within Functions. I'm sure there'll be tutorials and blog posts coming out. Also, check out this video on how to create access tokens for your apps with Twilio Functions.
Let me know if that helps at all.

When connecting Twillio to my Bot, the Twilio device gets 404 when trying to post received sms

I connected Twilio connector to my registered Bot.
Whenever I send a sms to my Twilio number, I can see in the logs that Twilio service gets 404 when trying to post a message to
https://sms.botframework.com/api/sms
The bot itself works well. I can test it with the webchat iframe or through the test console. But it seems that the Twilio integration to the bot framework is broken
Twilio developer evangelist here. I've just been through the process and was able to get my messages sent to & from my bot.
The fact that your unable to do that suggests you missed a step in the configuration, so I will try and describe what I did here to see if it helps you out.
Created a TwiML application here and set its messaging url to https://sms.botframework.com/api/sms
Purchased a phone number and changed the messaging section to use my TwiML app.
Added my twilio credentials and twilio phone number to the SMS config section as follows:
One thing I noticed is that when Twilio makes a request to this URL to send an SMS, the url returns a 502.
But according to a Microsoft employee this is "harmless".
Let me know if this helps you at all, or if you still need any help.
