That's... Wow, kinda absurd.

I checked and it appears they lack Canadian data; and so perhaps I was correct in presuming that such egregious breaching of personal privacy would be troublesome up here. Or maybe WP just doesn't have the data.

FWIW, there are cheap providers of SMS over SIP, now. I have a DID through voip.ms that can send and receive SMS, and it's cheap.

Yes, these are blocked at most services already. Definitely blocked by banks. Need short code ability to be used too.
