You need to purchase a cell number once you have verified yourself using the Buy a Number button on the top right corner

Then you will be able to do a webhook to listen for SMS replies.

Go back to https://www.twilio.com/console/phone-numbers/incoming and click on your number

Then scroll down to this section

Where is says “A MESSAGE COMES IN”, make sure the dropdown is “Webhook” and paste in the URL and click Save. That’s it!
