I've had problems using Twilio numbers to create Google accounts. I think voice activation does work, but you need to forward the number to your own number.

It should be assumed they check the phone number provider and block twilio as a spam prevention technique.

How can they detect Twilio numbers but still let scammers robocall my phone on a daily basis via bandwidth.com's API?

Even where this doesn't happen, Twilio block messages of the form "Your Google verification code is 123456" so you can't receive them anyway.
