Yes, you probably can. But then the customer receive the msg in WhatsApp with the cheap FB charge for. ;) using something like union you don't need the buy that app for the customers, ;) heck you can even program something similar to WhatsApp and distribute to your base, really not that hard. I am not related at all with union platform
Matthew you can have MMS with union too, a bit harder than Twilio (require more work) but still in flex, and we use union to connect to an asterisk server (pbx, softswitch etc etc ) to send calls/text using a demon that pretty much connects to both acting as a middleware, and twilio is more specific but modifying the datasource of union you can track whatever you want.
