Summary

A business owner shares their experience with provisioning new phone numbers through Twilio, allowing them to give out disposable phone numbers for business purposes without exposing their real number. They demonstrate how to set up TwiML bins to handle incoming SMS messages and create a Twilio Function to answer calls on their own number while blocking certain callers. The author concludes that this setup provides a convenient way to manage business calls and texts, making it easier to maintain a professional image while minimizing the risk of spam or abuse.
