Why do you need to send anyone an SMS message? Will KnowBe4 compensate individuals for the added cost?

If a device can receive an SMS, it can surely receive emails, which are much more robust and able to be tagged, sorted, archived, etc. You cannot do that with SMS, right?

Please stop trying to send people texts, especially for something as important as their next career.
