To avoid SSL certificate issues on wampserver localhost whilst testing, make sure that you insert the following line of code:

CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false,

in

twilio/sdk/Twilio/Http/CurlClient.php (from line 113 onwards)

public function options($method, $url, $params = array(), $data = array(),
                        $headers = array(), $user = null, $password = null,
                        $timeout = null) {

    $timeout = is_null($timeout)
        ? self::DEFAULT_TIMEOUT
        : $timeout;
    $options = $this->curlOptions + array(
        CURLOPT_URL => $url,
        CURLOPT_HEADER => true,
        CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
        //added here during localhost wampserver testing to avoid SSL issues
        //CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false,
        CURLOPT_INFILESIZE => Null,
        CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(),
        CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => $timeout,
    );

Remove the line once you are in production mode. The server that you are hosted on will I'm sure have the correct bundle of trusted certificates. At least with this setting set to false, your twilio application on localhost will not be checking your localhost for SSL certificates. This avoids having to download the correct certificates and bypasses the issues completely. See pflammer's comment at https://github.com/twilio/twilio-php/issues/203 .
