I figured I'd mention it since it's sorta related. But no such thing as net neutrality exists for text messaging to carriers. I believe that calls have to land from any destination by default, but text messaging (SMS usually) has no regulation forcing it. When it first launched you couldn't even SMS message outside your own carrier. What this has evolved into this year is that telcos now get to charge marketers extra money for the ability to send to their customers. For example: https://support.bandwidth.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041687274-Verizon-s-Local-A2P-10DLC-Routes https://support.bandwidth.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041687274... Previously, you just made sure a message was compliant with regulations and paid the usual rate to send it. Not anymore, pay to play with each carrier!
