Not receiving text messages on phone in trial account

Question

In my trial account i am using test credentials to send message to a verified twilio account of mine but not receiving that message. Should I use live credentials? Please guide me in this regard.

Twilio developer evangelist here.

You can't use test credentials to send messages or makes calls. Those should only be used to check that your integration is working (i.e. you could use them on your integration tests).

To send real messages you will need to use your live credentials.

Hope this help you
