They didn't listen. They just wanted to unload the company.
Anyway.
Google "reverse SMS billing" in Google. The main palyer I know of is 3Bill. And YES they are perfectly capable of getting you started in this.
I highly encourage you. If you were to apply your knowledge of niches and SC marketing (starving crowd marketing) you would make a mint.

Here is 3Bill answer to my inquiry about getting started with them:
Hi Jim,
Thank you for your reply. In order to run an sms campaign in the U.S, we will need to submit all of your campaign material to the networks, including a website to support your offer and a toll-free number. Without these, you will not be able to proceed anywhere in the U.S.
The standard costs for running a U.S campaign is around $900 set up and about $400/month. If this is within your budget, then I will be happy to talk on the phone at some convenient point. Please can you also send me some more detail on the campaign you would like to set up so we can review it's compliance.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Kind Regards,
Paul Smith
Not to bad on fees to get the ball rolling.
Jim
