I’ve made zero progress, mostly because I was depressed about the cost of sending an SMS in my part of the world. At least it means we get very little SMS spam!!

I’d be very keen to have a go implementing it for highly targeted communications, but don’t have the time / energy / money to push hard at getting it through.

Can I contact you about this? We want to implement it in our framework too.  
Can people sign up with their mobile numbers? What do the notification emails look like in that case?

You can use Twilio to send SMS notifications to users in your app.  
Simply sign up for Twilio, get your credentials, install the Twilio package, initialize the client, and send SMS notifications to users with relevant information or updates. Make sure to handle any response callbacks for successful delivery.  
& the video API is shutting down, what are you using as an alternative?

I’m not sure I understand; how do you do that from within Discourse?
