I think each of their phone numbers are reusable by also keying against who the sender is. So if they own the number 555-1234, Alice can sign up and have texts to that number go to Bob, and Carol can sign up and have texts to that number go to Eve. This way, everyone who uses the service can each have as many contacts as the service has phone numbers, and it will work without issue.

What if Alice wants to send messages to Carol?

The number Alice uses to message Carol doesn’t have to be the same as the number Carol uses to message Alice.
