Wait a second. How are they paying for all those texts to be sent out if the service is free? If they are using twilio or something similar, the costs are 2c per SMS.

Are they managing to send out the SMS for free somehow??

No they are (or at least were) using Twilio.

Not sure how this makes any sense from a business standpoint at this time, but I guess they must have something up their sleeves.
