How to receive sms messages on raspberry pi

I recently set up a Twilio account and got a registered Twilio phone number. Is there a way that I can get those messages on my raspberry pi? My intent is to display those messages on a LED screen.

You'd have to either expose the RasPi to the public internet (so Twilio's SMS callback could reach it), or use some proxy service in between.

The proxy would capture the inbound callback, then the RasPi could either poll, or use some better method, to check for new messages (meaning, the RasPi does not have to be on the public internet).

Temboo also has a set of tools that make it easier to build IoT applications that interact with APIs. I believe they can act like the proxy I describe.
