I have created test account and using test ID and TOken for sending sms using mvc c# the code excutes successfully but it is not sending any sms .

var accountSid = "AC5e25d8a4266b39ac8769cd1f6ee0c6cc3";
var authToken = "e8c21c9556cf64a75066f12cfa96c";
TwilioClient.Init(accountSid, authToken);

try
{
MessageResource.CreateAsync(
body: "There's always money in the banana stand.",
from: new PhoneNumber("+16073502552"),
to: new PhoneNumber("+923219494158")
);
}
catch (ApiException ex)
{
if (ex.Code == 21614)
{
Console.WriteLine("Uh oh, looks like this caller can't receive SMS messages.");
}
}

I read many articles someone said that for test account the from number need to be fixed like this "+15005550006" I did that as well . but it sucessfully run without sending any message when i use their portal to send the message with same credentials it works

For a Twilio test account, SMS messages can only be sent to verified numbers that have been added to the account. This is done to prevent spam and abuse on the test platform. If you are trying to send a message to a number that has not been verified, the message will not be delivered.

To verify a number, you can follow these steps:
1. Go to your Twilio Console and navigate to the "Verified Caller IDs" section.
2. Click on the "Add a Verified Caller ID" button.
3. Enter the phone number that you want to verify and click on the "Call Me" button.
4. Wait for the phone call from Twilio and follow the instructions to enter the verification code.
Once the number is verified, you should be able to send SMS messages to that number using your test account credentials.

Also, please make sure that your Twilio test account has sufficient balance to send messages. You can check your account balance in the Twilio Console.
