reply by Twilio staff:

If anyone else needs newlines, make sure your PHP strings are double quoted instead of single quoted and the \n will work: http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php

In PHP there's a Magic Quotes option that (while deprecated now) escapes certain characters in a POSTs and GETs. You may be suffering from that.
