    Well you can send people “SMS” messages from an email system; if you know who the carrier on that number is. usually it’s [the phone number]@[their service].

    it’s not hard to find what the domain name for the email transfer service is, and who owns which cell phone, and they can just buy a list of phone numbers that ping off college cells under specific circumstances that would indicate they’re college students.
