Hey Isaac Klausnser, Medstar Isaac
I need your help with Twilio.
I purchased a phone number - (347) 826-4446. How do we go about setting it up to receive text messages? 
My question is will I be able to use this phone number for Google to send me verification text messages? I tried to figure out how to get it moving fwd. but I cannot. 
Can you please help?

BTW, I create new Gmail addresses for clients all the time. Because of this, Google has gotten suspicious about why I keep creating new accounts. That explains why they need to verify them with a text. I have used both of my phone numbers so many times that they do not let me use them again.

Isaac, I believe that Google uses short code to send out their account verification text messages.
And Twilio does not accept short codes which means that I will likely not be able to use them for that purpose anyway.

Hector Mota, Operations Manager at Medstar Hector  - Correct. 

I also tried to use them for Google verification but no luck.

Isaac,
Please let me know if you find an alternative for me. We need to set up new client Gmail accounts almost every week. So I am going to need another way for me to verify these accounts when Google asks for a phone number. 
Thanks

Actually, I have not. I will keep them in mind to see if it works for the next client I need a Gmail. 
Thanks.

following up with you on Google voice. 
Google does NOT allow for their numbers to be used to verify accounts. 
I believe I knew it, but wanted to verify it.
Thanks though. 
If you hear about any other that works, please let me know.

Hector Mota, Operations Manager at Medstar Hector  - OK. Thanks for letting me know. Will let you know if I find some other service. Thanks.
