Interesting reply, approx half of all texts are not registered numbers, yet a "significant number" of the total were test messages.
May be worth trying to ask for total number of tests split among the categories, i.e. "number of test messages, split between registered numbers and non-registered numbers" that way we can work out the number of people that are registered and had to use the service last year, and the number of people that aren't but tried to use the service last year.
