The twilio number (Your from number: should be sms-enabled) that you have bought doesn't seem to have Capabilities of sending smses.

Have you made sure to add the from_ number to your Twilio account on your Account's phone numbers page. Error 21606 may have more information regarding this issue. If this is using your "test credentials" you will want to have a look at test credentials.
