Twilio has an API to identify the provider. https://www.twilio.com/docs/lookup/api

Still costs money, but if you're sending a lot of messages, this would substantially reduce the costs.

If you're sending a lot of messages through one of those, you can expect to be blocked pretty quickly unfortunately.
