Twilio's TwiML API format is 100% based on the client (botman) issuing responses on a webhook URL. This means that we can never initiate a conversation.

Hm right. We would need to use this POST endpoint: https://www.twilio.com/docs/api/messaging/send-messages
It requires the AccountSid , which the driver currently does not use.

I can add this and tag a 2.0 👍

Check out the diff on this branch. It's still broken (for somereason $message->getSender() is null) but it's close
