You haven't mentioned what your problem actually is, are you getting an error message, is the twilio service sending back an error? — Patrick Evans

Do you have display_errors on and/or have you checked the server error logs? — Patrick Evans

There will be two problems possible:

1) SMS Sending not allowed for the Twilio number you purchased for area. 2) There may be some code error. From your code, am getting that you not defined the version of API.

The code worked for me is (for both paid or not paid accounts)

require_once('twilio-php-master/Services/Twilio.php'); // Loads the library

$version = "2010-04-01"; // Twilio REST API version

// Set our Account SID and AuthToken
$AccountSid = "yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy";
$AuthToken = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";

$client = new Services_Twilio($AccountSid, $AuthToken, $version); //initialise the Twilio client

try{
$message = $client->account->messages->create(array(
    "From" => "+972527213871",
    "To" => "+972527213871",
    "Body" => "Test message!",
));

// Display a confirmation message on the screen
echo "Sent message";
}catch (Exception $e) {
            echo 'Error: ' . $e->getMessage();
        }

You also check your logs in message section in your twilio account. If not showing any log then you can check in Developer Tools -> App Monitor.

You can refer this for more help: http://phpobserver.wordpress.com/2014/03/18/build-sms-text-message-into-your-web-apps-twilio-api/

I hope this will help you!

Twilio evangelist here.

It looks like you are trying to send an SMS message from an Israeli phone number. Unfortunately today our Israeli local phone numbers do not offer messaging capabilities, only voice capabilities.

Hope that helps.
