if the idea is to jam communications with protests or send messages of support then why just texts? what about fax, phone & websites?

while texts are fast ways of communicating with activists, they also make massive profits for overcharging phone companies.
I appreciate the cause but am wondering about this idea of an " exciting new way" of protesting which is presumably to get publicity but could look a lot like a mobile phone ad.
