About this category

Primarily text messaging SMS services. This is a fast growing new category and it's dominated by Twilio, at least based on the number of numbers. They are a platform rather than a single service though. They work with a lot of customers and have a powerful program, but there certainly are a number of innovative approaches to messaging.
