with this you would only need to set up an individual email address that they could either message individually or hit everyone by using a mailing list.

I have done this in the past. What I do is add their carrier info to the db of users and then it sends based on that. It works ok, but is a bit of a pain. I may have to go that route in the end. I could use the phone app to directly send the messages but that violates my security model and exposes REAL phone numbers to the parties involved, so that's a no go.

In the end, I will just have to see if the demand for text notifications is there. I am guessing you are right and I will have to go this route.

Oh and thanks for providing the links now I don't have to look them up again!
