I don't think you need a commercial organization registered to get a number on Twilio.

I hooked up an old Twilio number I bought a while ago to ChatGPT for an ADHD encouragement bot last week: https://attaboy.ai

Now I can message it via. WhatsApp or Telegram and it even remembers chat history (by storing the last ~20 messages in Firebase).



Nice! I'm using twilio as well, will try to power through it.
