#4Hmm... from the title I thought they were literally going to give a billion messages away to nonprofits, but it's just a discount into their (presumably) huge margins.
Most companies give non-profits a break if they ask, and many have policies about it. I don't see why this is news.

I am working on a front-end system for non-profits that will use there Twilio account information, runcampaigns.com. A discounted cost to support 501c(3) organizations will be very good.

I worked on that idea as part of a team for a while. As I recall, it wasn't so much the SMS sending, but the interface design. Without compatibility with PHRs (Personal(Electronic) Health Records) transferring the notifications would be cumbersome pretty soon.
