Dear Andrew Holden,
Thank you for the prompt response, however it does not answer the question of why no revenue is gained by RNZ.
Also please note that https://www.rnz.co.nz/about/contact: goes to a 404 error.
Yours sincerely,
Phillip Hart

It's a service provided by the telcos, which enables us to receive texts from our listeners, but they receive the income for making the service available.
