Did EF mention that this was still working?
Technically this is not a text being sent by EF. It is an email being converted to text by your carrier. If your carrier does not offer something like vtext.com, you are out of luck.

It seems like with some simple modifications, EF could use a service like Twilio or Clicksend to handle the delivery of text messages.

IMHO, EF is on life support, with no active development, and when things break it is unknown if they will be fixed. I still see value in it, but also think it could be so much better.
