Twilio developer evangelist here.

You can read about what the Twilio request will look like here: https://www.twilio.com/docs/sms/twiml#twilios-request-to-your-application

Briefly, the request will be an HTTP POST request (by default, or you can change it to GET).

If it is a POST request, the body will be in the format application/x-www-form-urlencoded. The request parameters will include things like MessageSid for the incomin message's ID, Body for the text body and NumMedia for the number of attachments. You can read the URL of each attachment from the MediaUrl{n} parameters, where "n" Is the index of the media. The sender phone number will be the From parameter.

To test this from outside the US I usually buy a second Twilio number and use it along with the API to send messages to my primary number.
