I am using twilio-API for voice call . But to make a voice call it is required to verify both the caller and receiver phone number . Is is possible to skip the receiver no. verification step in twilio-API.

The reason it asks you for verification is because you're most likely running on a trial account, which will limit things you can do with your account.
If you upgrade your account, you won't need to verify the numbers you can call to.
You can read more about the limitations on trial accounts here.
Hope this helps you

We have a query to ask regarding the Twilio voice communication and hope you will help us.
We are having a client and they are having business with Health care domain having Doctor-Patient communication happening through Twilio cloud.
We know that a non-twilio number can be used for caller id after verification with twilio by 6 digit input from the user.
The client requires a mechanism like when they sell the product to many customers, each customer just input any valid work number (office number) and wants to use those number as Caller Id without the verification process.
We would like to know whether Twilio us offering such custom caller ids without doing the verification steps ? Like with means of a high-level membership plan with twilio or for utlizing any bulk purchase schemes or by trusting the client with any documents or by any other means of ?
Please give your suggestions in this.
Thanks
No. You need to verify each number to use it for your caller ID. Another way of doing it is that you buy the number via Twilio when the customer signs up and that's their outbound caller ID. Would be much easier to do.

Is it Required to Verify receiver numbers on twilio for making calls after the account has been verified?

Once you've upgraded your account you will not be required to verify any of the outbound numbers you want to call or text to.
Have a look at this article for more information.

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.

You can verify caller ids via the REST API using the Outgoing Caller IDs resource.
Essentially you make a POST request to that endpoint with the number you want to verify. Twilio will respond with a code that you need to show the user. Twilio will also initiate a call to that phone number asking for the user to enter the code. Once they have done so correctly, the number will be verified.
In my app user needs to verify his phone number to complete the registration process means when the user tries to register with phone number, a verification code will be send to his device. on inserting the code, the app should allow him to register , regarding this I am using twilio as SMS gateway. Does anybody has a sample code, so that I can through the code to check how this process is going to intiate.
Twilio developer evangelist here. There are a variety of blog posts that show you how to accomplish this around the Internet. For example:
A phone verification system with PHP and MySQL
Phone verification with Ruby and Rails
Phone verification using JavaScript and Parse
Or, if you want something even easier, Authy is a service that handles all the verification you need through just a few API calls.
Hope this helps.
