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.

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
