What's it cost to be an SS7 peer for a year? Could they spin up their own "phone company" for the purpose of delivering SMS verification and nothing else, cheaper than they're paying someone else's markup?

What's expensive isn't (just) the technical infrastructure, it's termination/interconnection fees charged by the destination mobile networks.
Huh, I knew those existed for voice calls, didn't realize they applied to SMS too. Makes sense, though.
