Twilio` is a platform that allows users to build and deploy SMS forwarding services in under 5 minutes using its `TwiML Bin` and templating functionality. To set up this service, users need to create a new TwiML bin, configure their phone number, and write a simple XML code snippet to forward incoming messages to any SMS-capable phone. With just a few lines of code, users can receive SMS messages sent to a Twilio number on their own cell phone, providing an additional layer of security for online accounts or sales transactions. The capabilities of `Twilio` extend beyond SMS forwarding, offering various applications and resources for developers to explore, including tutorials and documentation.
