REST API: Sandbox

The Sandbox resource has been deprecated and may be removed in future versions of the Twilio API.

The Sandbox resource gives you programmatic access to your Twilio Developer Sandbox phone number. Using this resource you can get the phone number and PIN for your sandbox, view the current voice and SMS URLs and update those URLs just like any other IncomingPhoneNumber resource on a Full Twilio Account.
