I'm moving forward with Twilio. I don't like that there's no easy way to respond to messages from their dashboard, and it sounds like I'll have to wait a few days before using it which kinda throws a wrench in my plans, but otherwise it's easy to use. Thanks for the recs!

I like baking /goodbread and building apps on web3 protocols. DevRel @ ENS Labs. gregskril.com

You're likely getting by under "Sole Proprietor Use Cases", which gives some low traffic per second and per day limits that you'll fall under. They're still rolling this out (<1yr old), so I think they're pretty lenient even if verification hasn't completed
