Twilio's trunk troubleshooting page covers the case where the PSTN party hears the PBX user but the PBX user cannot hear the PSTN party. The causes it gives are the PBX putting its LAN IP in the SDP, and a firewall blocking RTP from Twilio. The remedies are to advertise the WAN IP in SDP and to allow RTP from Twilio's published IP ranges and ports.

Update the configuration on your PBX so that it puts its WAN IP address in the SDP
