You will not be able to text ever, like ever. You will be blocked. Just go do seraches on A2P. There were over 50k agencies not able to text for over a week. Think of it like "Civil War" in Marvel. Instead all 4 carriers are like Iron Man meaning: theu want every business who sends a text message to be documented and verified to stop spam. If you don't register you cant text. Its that simple. Also yes, they are making money off of this as well. Sadly it is the way the cookie crumbles.
