This might be a feature that is implemented later down the road depending on how successful this is. There are 2 solutions I'm looking at which are SMS and Email. Both solutions cost, but I figured I would mention it here before I forgot.

SMS is much more of a pain to deal with than email. That is for sure

I agree. I found Twilio SMS and although I haven't looked at the code yet, it says it has a nice API in several web programming languages. That's a decision and/or implementation for a future time.

The email service I had in mind for then was sendgrid. They say they are "world's largest Email Infrastructure as a Service provider".
