Summary

This code uses Twilio's Lookup service to identify a phone number's line type, which can be useful for various reasons such as blocking VoIP numbers. The script requires a Twilio account and Python 3 installation, and can take a phone number as an argument to return its line type, which can be either mobile, landline, or VoIP. The code includes error handling and a reusable function to make it more convenient for users.
