Answers.Text: As the question is asked... you're 100% correct. The paragraph after the one linked actually has all the information about why :). I'd like to add that Jamie may be asking about/need to look into "Pooling multiple long codes" (further down the page or https://twilio.radicalskills.com/projects/messaging-in-production/1.html#pooling-long-codes). There's even a code sample!

  That is a total hack, and is therefore the wrong solution to the problem.
  
  If they have these limits it's for a reason. Ultimately Twilio may be the wrong provider for you, or you're on the wrong plan with them.
  
  Suggestion: research other providers.
