I am trying to integrate twilio with the Joy of Texting Pro WP plugin. How do I setup Twilio to send inbound sms to the plugin?
Twilio developer evangelist here.
The documentation for the Joy of Texting Pro has some details on how you setup inbound SMS to the plugin.
You need to log in to your Twilio account and edit the number you are using to receive messages on. You need to enter a URL in the Messaging section for when a message comes in. From what I can tell, you need to use your WordPress application's URL plus ?inbound. e.g https://mywordpresssite.com?inbound
Let me know if that helps at all.

Is it possible to send/receive SMS from whatsapp using twilio number? Anybody tried twilio with whatsapp? I asked customer care, if it is possible, he said, not sure but many people asked about that.
In case anyone else lands here, Twilio just released a WhatsApp integration via their new Business API

Whatsapp do not have an API, so it is not possible to send or receive messages to Whatsapp using the Twilio API either.
If you are looking to send and receive messages to services like Whatsapp, then you might be interested in Twilio Channels. Channels are the various APIs that we are integrating into the one Twilio API so it's easy for you to send to all these third party services.
Channels lets you send and receive messages to services like:
Facebook
Slack
HipChat
Line
SendGrid (for email)
Twitter
Amazon Alexa
Viber
And will be supporting the following soon:
WeChat
Kik
BBM
You can sign up for early access to Channels here: https://www.twilio.com/marketplace/channels
I am making an app in MVC to send/receive SMS using Twilio API. I am done with sending SMS functionality but I am confused to get(Inbound) SMS log sent to Twilio number from user.
There are few article but not enough for me. Please help me.

I recommend this guide that was built by the Twilio documentation team on How to Receive and Reply to SMS Messages in C#. It will explain what a webhook is, how to use TwiML and how to use that knowledge together in ASP.NET MVC to receive and respond to SMS messages.
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.
my client has registered to Twilio from US. I am developer and using Twilio service for testing purpose in India. I am sending text message to send One time password(OTP) to a mobile no in India for which DND is activated. I am not able to receive OPT via text message. Help me.

I'm afraid the DND list is the top limitation of Twilio in India right now. You can check the details here.
You could, if you were interested, try using Authy (a different Twilio service) to send OTPs to your users. If they have a smart phone, they can then install the Authy application and generate their OTPs on their devise without the need for an SMS. Check out the Authy documentation for how to get started.
In twilio, I want to send automated sms like “Thanks for contacting us, we will reply to you shortly” to the user when I receive an SMS from the user.
Please let me know how I can do this.
