Can't receive sms to mobile from rails

I'm using twilio service in my rails app . I followed this tutorial. But after i run the app the message is sent to my twilio account , but i did not received any message to my mobile, other than the code in the link. I just added this code in my routes.rb:

Sms::Application.routes.draw do
  get "send/sms"
  root 'send#sms'
end

Send controllers code : 

   class SendController < ApplicationController
    def sms
      require 'rubygems'
      require 'twilio-ruby'
      @account_sid = 'AC6'
      @auth_token = '2bf'
      @client = Twilio::REST::Client.new(@account_sid, @auth_token)
      @client.account.sms.messages.create( :from => '(954) 740-8336',:to => '+919884667438',:body => 'Hey there!')
    end
   end

and my sms action html file contails this :

Your message was successfully sent .

Twilio employee here.

On further inspection into your code, I noticed you're trying to send an SMS to an Indian number. The telephone networks have a lot of restrictions in India, which all companies must abide by.

The reason you are not receiving your SMS messages is because all Indian numbers are automatically opted-in to a Do Not Call Registry. You will need to opt-out your number in order to receive SMS in India.

For more information about sending / receiving SMS messages in India, check out our extensive FAQ section

You can get around this problem quickly by sending SMS to another non-Indian number, of course.
