Much larger than Twilio, even bigger than operators like Verizon and AT&T. Infrastructure that came from Cloudhopper acquisition with continuous care and improvement gave Twitter a reliable and super cost effective _world-wide_ SMS delivery platform. (I was an employee 2012–2016)

Wow, thanks for the insight. It's easy to forget that Twitter was an SMS centric platform not too long ago.
