This was many years ago but I was trying to set up a Twilio number in the Netherlands to do a crank call on a friend there. I thought it would be as straightforward as the US(ie. Just sign up, add some money and pick a number from their available pool). No....from what I recall you need to submit an actual physical address and there was some mechanism for verifying I think as it failed the first time I tried. Now I think I managed to eventually get some random shop registered but for spamming, I don't think that would last as it would get flagged eventually. I don't know if they still do this sort of verification but if anything it is probably more strict now.
