Oh, and on your point #3... Right now, I intentionally do not allow you to initiate a text conversation to a phone number. There are a few issues and challenges with that (particularly in spam prevention, and in having to know the user's carrier).

So in other words, you wouldn't be able to use your second phone and decide on an impulse to send a message to 867-5309.

On the other hand, you could tell the other person to initiate the conversation to you. "Hey, TEXT me at [e-mail]. Yeah, I know it's confusing. Just put the email address in, where you usually put phone numbers."

Then once they texted you, you could text them back numerous times, over weeks or months, until they "/stop" the service.
