It really bothers me that I can send text messages with Twilio, but I can't receive any.

Issue Summary

I can easily call a Python function to send a message to a phone number. However, I cannot easily call a Python function to receive a message from a phone number: I have to set up webhooks and an API, and that is just a pain. It would be awesome if any messages received by my Twilio number get stored in a queue, and we had a simple Python function that gets the first message in that queue, or if there are no messages returns "no messages".

Hey @Tylersuard, we'll add this to our internal backlog to be prioritized. +1s/reactions on this issue (and comments) and PRs will bump it higher up the backlog. Thanks!

Why not use the GET method to retrieve messages?
